It Is Noble 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 core of the society. They dictate the future survival of a nation. Therefore, they deserve tender loving care. Unfortunately, this is not the case in some African countries. This is because of the heavy grind of poverty. Some people are very poor to the extent that they cannot buy for their children lifesaving medications resulting to high infant mortality.

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.

At the end of the day, it all boils down to money. When a humanitarian group is bankrupt, it will no longer be able to operate in Africa and this will leave many people in a bad position. Therefore, individuals should strive to make monetary contributions. There is no minimum threshold. One simply contributes according to his financial ability. Those who have more are encouraged to give more.

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.

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.
