It Is Great 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.

The ironies of the world are perplexing. While others are having merry, some are dying. The children of rich countries enjoy the niceties of life but their counterparts in Africa bear with a sad reality that often involves going to bed hungry, failing to have an education, not being immunized on time and even sleeping on the streets.

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.

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.

A support of any sum of money is always welcomed. One should contribute according to his endowment. There is no big or small contribution. The most important thing is helping in the best way possible. If most people in the developed world could just contribute a dollar towards helping underprivileged children, many lives will be changed and the world will become a better place.

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 African children is simply making a powerful humanitarian statement. It is acknowledging that no child deserves to suffer irrespective of where he comes from. The supported children usually end up progressing in life and some of them end up in top positions in society. When they become great, they will always remember the help they received and they will gladly extend their hands toward helping other needy and vulnerable members of society.
