Why Everyone Needs To Donate To Poor Children In Africa

The African continent is home to millions of people that are among the poorest in the world. Numerous innocent people starve to death, due to exposure, poor medical facilities and brutality every year. These people are not lazy or without ambition. They are simply neglected and never get the chance to achieve something in life. Millions of kids face the same dismal future and that is why it is so necessary to donate to poor children in Africa.

Modern technology has made sure that nobody can claim to be unaware of the misery suffered by kids on the African continent. Disturbing images of desperately hungry, poorly clothed uneducated young kids that are doomed to a life with no prospects whatsoever. Unfortunately, so many people simply turn the page or change the channel. They do not want to know about desperate young human beings suffering thousands of miles away.

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.

It is unfortunate that so many people fail to become involved because they think that their own small efforts will not make any difference. Nothing can be further from the truth. Millions of small effort is almost always more sustainable and effective that one or two very big efforts. Western society, especially, is extremely wasteful and the vast majority of people truly can afford to offer some form of help.

Making regular donations, even small ones, towards helping the African kids is one of the most convenient ways in which to help. It is important, however, to make donations only to organizations that are reputable and that have a proven track record for honesty and efficiency. It is unfortunate that millions of dollars have disappeared due to poor management and opportunist organizations that see charities as lucrative businesses.

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.

Not everyone can give money or travel to the continent. This does not mean that they cannot contribute, however. Anyone can help collecting clothes and food for distribution by bigger aid organizations. Everybody can make sure that their colleagues, family and friends remain aware of the catastrophe on the African continent. Even such small contributions are valuable and the most certainly help.

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.
