Why It Is Important To Sponsor African School

By Thomas Allen


The most important asset for the future is the children. They will improve the legacy of human kind in the future through developing new technologies and finding ways to improve the quality of life. However, most children will not achieve these goals due to negative conditions. To help out these needy children, you can decide to help Sponsor African School.

Over a third of children in third world countries are living in absolute poverty. Absolute poverty means that the child is deprived of more than one of the human basic needs. The parents of these children are also unable to cater for the needs of their child which, exposes children to violence in order to get money to sustain themselves. Sponsoring learning institutions will also help them to learn even without the money.

72 million children in the world do not have quality education is identified by various research. A majority of children are from the developing countries with Africa topping the list. The hindrance of education to most of these students is the lack of funds to attend the schools. Through sponsoring a child or school a needy child will be able to gain valuable education so as to escape from poverty.

It is a common knowledge that most diseases and ailments of children in third world countries are easily treatable or immunized example malaria diarrhea and measles. However, many important children lose their lives due to such diseases. To solve this issue, the sponsor schools help gather them for immunizations and free treatments and inform them on how to avoid these cases.

Often children in poverty will take part in activities that exploit them so as to earn money to sustain themselves if the parents or guardians are unable to do so. Common exploitations include prostitution, child slavery and trafficking and the most common in war countries, child soldiers. By providing such students with free education to help them change their lives many of them will be able to live a full life.

A major challenge facing many institutions in third world countries is the lack of necessary equipment and resources needed to promote learning. The institutes lack enough funds to sustain the students and also ensure they receive the best education. It is thus important to sponsor any school you find in need to ensure that the future of the children is improved.

Institutions set up by sponsors do not only educate them but also the public as well. They may advice the public against unorthodox traditions that affects the progress of the society example female genital mutilation and limiting the education of a girl child. The sponsor schools have been the main reason that has promoted gender equality in Africa.

By offering sponsorship to any needy student or school, you will be able to sustain the life of a child and their future children. You will also play a role in helping the development of the third world countries by helping out the underprivileged children who need both financial and emotional support. Anyone taking part will also feel good about the role they play in protecting the future, the children.
