It Is Humane To Sponsor African Child

By Melissa Thomas


Children are beautiful, innocent creatures. It is unfortunate that some of them are suffering. Therefore, helping a child is a very noble thing to do. Anyone can sponsor African child. One can do this through financial and non-monetary donations. It is good to do something to make the lives of others, better. There are many African children in need of help.

People need to awaken to the sad state of humanity. In rich countries, children are playing video games and having plenty to eat that they even throw a lot of food in the trash. In poor African countries, many children go to bed hungry. In addition, they cannot attend school. A person should not escape this reality: many children in are suffering.

Children are the backbone of any society. They are the future doctors, teachers, engineers, and even presidents. The most important possession of Africa is her children. Unfortunately, most of them seem not to have a viable future. In fact, some even die before their teens because of easily preventable diseases. A majority will end up illiterate because of their parents not having money to take them to school.

Orphans are a vulnerable section of society. This is because they do not have parents. Many children in Africa are orphans because of the effects of war. There are organizations that are committed to cater for this class of people. These organizations need money to continue with their operations. One can pick a reputable organization and support it, in any manner.

Most people choose to make monetary contributions. These will easily be applied to good humanitarian uses because purchasing anything requires money. One does not have to be rich to contribute. Even a very small contribution will help a lot. If many people contribute the least amount possible, a significant sum of money will have been collected at the end of the day.

One person's contribution is good. However, the contributions of many are great. After contributing, one needs to sensitive others about the need to contribute to humanitarian causes. It is advisable to convince others to assist poor and disenfranchised children in different parts of the world. If one can help, there is no reason why he should not do so.

One person alone cannot change the fate of millions of underprivileged children. There is power in numbers. That is why there is need for collective effort from the west towards helping those in a crisis in the developing world. Already, many western organizations are participating in the salvaging of the lives of millions of poor children. However, they cannot do this work alone because of the complexity of the whole affair. They need helping hands from the manpower perspective. They also require monies to finance their expanding operations.

Supporting a needy child in Africa is the most humane thing to do. A single child supported can be the empowerment of an entire village. No one can tell what a young person can be in future. An abandoned baby maybe destined to be an innovator, an entrepreneur, a top ranking educationist, an award winning musician, a record-breaking sportsman, or even the next great president of a country.
