Assisting the Children of Africa

What can I do to help a child in Africa? Is a question that I receive weekly in the form of emails from around the world. I want to do something but I do not have much to give at this time but it always comes down to "What can I do to help a child in Africa."

Below are some ways that you can be of help to a child, or to children in Africa. Most of the things are easily implemented and have long-term consequences in the life of a child in Africa that lives in situations that most of us cannot even imagine. But your help can impact a child in such a way that it can break out of the cycle of poverty, out of a slum into a life that has a future and a hope. I know of many children that I have met over the last 16 years that today have jobs, families and live in nicer circumstances than they were in when I met them. Someone such as you impacted their life with a helping hand and gave them the means to move beyond the present into a better and brighter future.

How you can be of help to the children of Africa

Become informed - on this website alone you will find lots of stories and pictures that give you some background into the plight of children in Africa. Just click on the links below and you will find stories, accounts and more.
Form an African Children support group: This is easily done. Find some like minded people have a get together where you brainstorm what you can do for children in Africa. I can provide you with all the background information you might need to do so.
Have an African Child Informational Meeting: This can be done at church, Sunday School, Classroom, University Group or Civic Organization and I will provide you again with a slide-show, written material if needed.
Pen Pal in Africa: Another effective way in finding out about life in Africa from an Africa. This can be between child to child or adult to adults.
Raise Funds for Children in Africa: A young girl in Spain send the contents of her piggy bank to me to help children in Africa. It was extremely touching and heartwarming and showed me that what I was doing was the right thing and children benefited.
Buy a Mosquito Net and save the Life of an African Child: Each day, just in Uganda 320 to 350 people die of Malaria, a simple mosquito net can prevent the death of a child. A $ 20 US donation will help save the life of one child or keep the child from getting sick from malaria.
Sponsor a child in Africa: Sponsor a child as a group or as an individual.
Send a Packet of books: In the USA you can get a flat rate international envelope and send some books. The envelope is reasonable around 11.50 USD and some children classics would be nice for children who come from a non-reading culture except for school exams.
Sent a toy to a child: Most children in slums have no toys, a toy that you can fit into a flat rate envelope from the USA would be nice for them.
Send a donation: You can send a donation of any size and it will be used fully for the children in Africa, nothing taken out for administrative costs.
Visit Africa-Uganda: One of the best things to do is to visit Africa for yourself and meet the children where they live.
Visit a sponsored child in Africa: This is fabulous way of falling in love with Africa and meeting your sponsored child or pick a child to sponsor.
Come to Africa on a Volunteer Work Trip or Short Term Mission Trip: Thousands experience Africa in this manner.
