Healing and Restoring the World
The world is retrogressing in diverse ways making life a living hell for the innocents. We have the power to turn the table around but we keep procrastinating. Issues such as poor maternal health care, the global educational system and the poor ways of handling our environment is nothing to write home about. We have what it takes to curb the situation but we are not trying enough. These fabrics are designed to revive, restore and awake us once again. It is also to crave the indulgence of the world that, we need to heal the world to become a better place for our generation and the generation to be born.
In relation to healing the world, my first fabric is about, improving on Maternal Health Care. Maternal Health Care because it is the key to saving the lives of millions of women who die as a result of complications during child birth each year. Pregnant women must be free from heavy workloads combined with poor diets. My second fabrics suggest that, to heal the world there is a need to achieve a universal primary education. This inspiration is traced from the second goal in the United Nation Sustainable Development Goal. This is to ensure that boys and girls complete a full course of primary education which is vital to meeting all other millennium goals. Finally, my last design is about the need for Ensuring Environmental Sustainability. To have good communities, we need clean air, natural resources and a nontoxic environment. Sustainability improves the quality of our lives, protects our ecosystem and preserve natural resources for future generations. The greedy nature of human today is a threat to the environment and we must put a stop to it. With these we can heal and restore the world to become a better place for us and the generation to come.
