There is a great need in the world for individuals to stand up and deliberately help those in need. Imagine if we were living in a world where everyone is willing to give towards helping the underprivileged, the world would be better than what it is now. The good thing about giving is that you do not have to have so much to give, rather, you can share the little that you have with someone. There are many children in Africa who are needy. If therefore you have a heart for the African child, you could therefore help them in the following ways.
You could help provide food for the African children by giving your donation. There are many African children who die from hunger due to lack of something to eat. Others get malnutrition because of lack of a balanced diet. Giving towards provision of food to the hungry African children will go a long way in ensuring they grow to be healthy useful individuals in the society.
You could donate towards helping the homeless African children find shelter. Shelter is one of the most basic needs for every human being. However, there are some children out there who completely have no roof over their heads. You can never know how bad sleeping outside is until you reach that point when you absolutely have no choice but to spend your night outside. You will therefore be able to make someone’s life a little better when you give towards building shelters for the homeless African children.
You can also give for the sake of vocational training for the homeless girls. There are many homeless girls in Africa who are not able to acquire an education. You can however help them develop themselves by donating towards the vocational training for homeless girls. Vocational training equips girls with different skills such as tailoring, catering, soap making, crafting and so on. In that way, they will not rely on donations to survive for the rest of their lives but will be able to earn a living when they provide services in the areas they acquire skills in.
You may also give your donations to help restore a young African man’s life. It is not only the young girls who go through vocational training but young men too. There are many young men who because of a lot of needs and lack of useful things to do resort to engage in drug abuse and criminal activities like pick pocketing in the streets and so on. When you contribute towards vocational training for help, you will make it possible to divert the energy of young men and direct them towards something noble like soap making, building construction, farming, tailoring and so on. The young men will then grow to be responsible adults who can fend for their families in descent ways.
Donating towards acquiring treated mosquito nets is also something which you can do. Malaria which is one of the killer diseases in Africa has taken the lives of many children. You could therefore help save the life of an African by contributing towards the purchase of mosquito nets which will help prevent kids from malaria.
