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.

There is a big disparity in the world. In other places, children have the best of amenities while in Africa and Asia, the opposite is the case. While some have more than enough until they throw the excesses others do not have even the bare minimum. They have to do with a hungry stomach and the unforgiving cold of the night because of sleeping hungry on the streets.

A society is as good as its children. This is because they are the future leaders. Unfortunately, poverty is stealing away the future of Africa. Children are dying because of lack of medication. Many young people will have no future because they do not have the money to pay school fees. Some people lack the most basic things of life.

African orphans are a vulnerable group. They lack much needed guardianship in a very harsh continent known for brutal wars where disenfranchised children are often recruited as child soldiers. Luckily, there are world organizations that have dedicated themselves to supporting African orphans. These institutions require the support of everyone so that they can continue with their noble endeavors. Support can be offered in any valuable form.

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.

It starts with one person rising up to the occasion and making a contribution. One should not keep quiet about his contribution but should spread the message to as many people as possible. It is good to encourage family members and friends to also contribute. One needs to have a convincing argument so that to win the hearts and minds of other people.

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.

One should never underestimate the power of a small individual contribution towards empowering a needy child in Africa. Only one single child rescued from the jaws of poverty, disease and ignorance, is a great achievement. That child will help to empower many other people facing disadvantageous circumstances. A baby can be anything. If he is abandoned, potential is thrown away. If he is taken good care of, society stands to benefit in many ways.
