It Is Humane 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.

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.

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.

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.
