Malawi
Malawian drinks
A cool and refreshing drink of mahewu may leave a gritty taste in your mouth, but this nutritious beverage made from maize meal is one of Malawi’s best-loved and most popular drinks. Mahewu is often made at home just on the night before it is served. It is often unflavored and not very sweet. Those that are produced in factories come in plastic bottles. A variety of flavors, such as banana, chocolate, and orange, are also mixed into the drink to make it sweeter.
20 Poorest Countries In The World
What are the poorest countries in the world? The rankings below were published in Wikipedia from International Monetary Fund’s 2011 gross domestic product per capita (GDP per capita) report and reflecting the countries with the lowest purchasing power parity (PPP). Since 1970, there has been encouraging news emerging from developing countries. According to the UN’s 2010 Human Development Report, life expectancy in developing countries has increased from 59 years in 1970 to 70 years in 2010. School enrolment climbed from 55% to 70% of all primary and secondary school-age children. Also, in the last forty years, per capita GDP doubled to more than ten thousand U.S. dollars. Poor countries are catching up with the wealthier countries, but not all countries are making fast progress. For example, some countries in Sub-Sahara Africa have little or no progress, largely due to the HIV epidemic and civil wars.
