It Is Great To Sponsor African Child

By Melissa Thomas


One should think of all the little children suffering in the world's poorest continent. They are beautiful and innocent babies. War and HIV AIDS have orphaned most of them. The most reasonable thing to do is to sponsor African child, in any way possible. One can choose to contribute some money. In addition, non-monetary contributions are usually welcomed.

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.

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.

Most western societies take good care of their orphans. In Africa, this vulnerable group of the population is left to wander the street. In this continent, the number of orphans is increasing with every passing day because of the scourge of HIV AIDS and the debilitating effects of war. Without proper parental guidance, a child can end up in the wrong hands. Many organizations are actively providing hope, purpose and a future to orphans in Africa. These groups require human resource and financial support.

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 is not only about making personal contributions. It is also about encouraging others to contribute to the welfare of disadvantaged children in Africa. One can spread the message to family and friends. This will have a great impact. One should never underestimate what he can do to improve the welfare of millions. As a single individual, there are definitely resource limitations.

A single person has limited abilities. There is a maximum amount he can contribute. Also, he cannot be present in all African countries to offer much needed help. That is why the collective effort of many western citizens is needed. There is need for volunteers and also financiers. The great humanitarian organizations of the present age will do their job well if they are supported by all and sundry.

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.
