There are many ways to help Central American families such as providing food and shelter for them. There are many organizations in which you can donate money to help provide for families. Also there are many food banks located in Central America. The United States is trying to help the citizens in Central America, “The U.S. government announced hundreds of millions of dollars for new programs aimed at the root causes of the exodus, among them gang violence and poverty” (Tobia, 2014). This will allow for a decrease in families that are in poverty, which will motivate them to stay in Central America and not feel the need to abandon their family. According to Council on Hemispheric Affairs, The United States is willing to restructure our ill-conceived free-trade agreement with the region in a way that allows Central American governments to stimulate local businesses and agricultural production. This means actively supporting Central American governments’ political agenda of uplifting the economic and social well-being of their people, particularly the poorest and most vulnerable members of their societies. (Perla, 2014) Many families struggle with providing food for their family and they suffer from malnutrition. By increasing the agriculture life in Central America, it will give the parents more opportunities to provide for their family. Also by stimulating local businesses, it will allow the parents to have more job opportunities and then they can provide for their family in Central America.
