Karachi, Pakistan
Safety Since Karachi is a metropolitan city, street crimes are very common and crime rates are high.(but are improving since the election in August 2018)

Karachi's ranking on the World Crime Index has improved drastically. IN 2014, Karachi was ranked 6th, and in the December of 2018, it was ranked 70th.
Lack of education
Many less fortunate families in Pakistan struggle to provide education to their children. As a result, they many not know the difference between right and wrong and unknowingly commit crimes or be violent in public.
A solution to this is to donate to the numerous charities founded that fund the schooling of children in Karachi.
Another solution is to fund the organizations that run schools under flyovers in Karachi. These organizations employ volunteers and provide free education to the children who participate in child labor.
Child labor in Karachi is often done in the form of begging, selling goods (bangles, toys, and flowers) on the streets, working in factories, and workshops.
Poverty
Poverty is a major problem in Karachi because about 8.9% of the population lives under the poverty line and earn less than $1 daily. As a result, many poor people beg for money on the roads and may fake having no limbs in order to gain sympathy.
The top 10% of the population of Pakistan should be subjected to an extra 5% tax from their income which is given to the poor.

The people who live under the poverty line in Karachi should not be subjected to any taxes because it is already a burden for them to live with basic needs.
Lack of cleanliness
Most of Karachi is unclean because the citizens litter and the local government doesn't pick up the trash. As a result, trash is scattered across roads, on beaches, in front of stores, houses, and government buildings. The trash buildup often leads to many diseases within the citizens who reside in slums.
Alternatively, people could strike in front of Government offices and buildings to pressurize them into taking care of the cleanliness of the city.
As many as 88 percent Karachiites believe that lack of cleanliness is Karachi's most significant issue.
A solution is to have the citizens of Karachi to volunteer and try cleaning up their own neighborhood if the Government does not take any action.
Crime and violence
Many wealthy people in Karachi who commit crimes (money-laundering) often bribe the government with money to not face the consequences. However, the lack of education and crime/violence is also linked because some people in Karachi have not received enough education so they don't know the difference between right and wrong.
On July 6, 2018, Nawaz Sharif (former Prime Minister Pakistan) was sentenced to 10 years in prison and fined £8 million pounds associating with embezzlement, money-laundering, and corruption over his family's purchase of property in London.
A solution to this is to put all individuals who are corrupt into prison, fining them, seizing their stolen money, and to prevent them from being part of the Government.
