Because Africa is a LEDC country, it is not as developed as a MEDC country like the US or UK. this means the schools are not as good, bad education means bad job meaning bad pay meaning you children go to a cheap school to/ no school... And its normal to have like 15 kids there so they cant pay for all their children so they die...

no offence im just summarizing..
