Why It Is Vital To Donate To Poor Children In Africa
The vast African continent continues to be home to the poorest, most wretched, most desperate people in the world. Millions starve to death each year. Millions more die from diseases that could be treated very successfully if only some medical facilities were available. It is especially the plight of innocent kids that truly needs much more attention from the rest of the world. It is the responsibility of everyone that lead more privileged lives to donate to poor children in Africa.
Very few people can claim that they are not aware of the misery suffered by African kids every day. Images of suffering, hungry, ill and abused kids are printed and broadcast on almost a daily basis. Sadly, so many people view such images and stories of little more than passing interest. It is happening very far away and it has nothing to do with them. At least, this is what they tell themselves.
Not everybody is untouched. There are many people that do everything that they can. Celebrities have held concerts and performances and European royalty has clearly demonstrate their willingness to get their own hands dirty. These people should be applauded, but much more needs to be done if a future is to be created for millions of African kids living without help and without hope.
Aid organizations and many wealthy countries do much to help African kids but a few huge efforts simply cannot make a lasting change. What is necessary is the active involvement of millions of smaller donors. One person may not be able to achieve spectacular results, but millions of people can, together, indeed make a massive difference. The truth is that the vast majority of people really can afford to help, even in a small way.
One of the easiest ways in which to help is to donate money on a regular basis. Great care should be taken, however, to make sure that such donations are made to reputable organizations that will indeed use the money to help those that truly need it. It is a sad and lamentable fact that there are some organizations that claim to help those in need but are unable to produce proof of exactly what it is that they achieved.
Another excellent way in which to make a real difference is to become involved on a personal level. There are several organizations that run educational programs, health facilities and projects that aim to provide water, sanitation and housing to those poorest of the poor. Young people can volunteer to offer their skills and their labour to make a real and visible change.
Even people focusing on creating awareness of the plight of African kids can help. It is not necessary to become a zealot in order to gently and continuously remind friends and family that there are millions of people in dire straits and that they have an obligation to do something about it. Many people do their bit by collecting clothes and food which is then handed to reputable organizations for distribution.
What happens on the African continent is important to the entire global community. Global warming, for example, affects everybody. Disease can spread from one continent to another in the blink of an eye. The African kids deserve help.
