Mauritania is a country in the western side of Africa. The main languages come mainly from Fench and Arabic dialects. Their life expectancy and probability to live past the age of 40 is not very high, this could be because there aren't very many doctors and the chance of being infected is high. Many of the villages are not very developed either having few internet, landlines, and cars. Schooling is not even mandatory and so most children stay at home and do chores rather than go to school.
