Have you ever seen a child on the street
and thought, “I’d love to send that child to school?” I’m sure you
have! Many of us see children in need, but feel helpless to make a
difference.
We don’t know what’s involved. We don’t
want to start
something we can’t finish. We don’t know if people will
take advantage of us, and we will be overwhelmed with the needs of
others. It can be quite daunting, seeing so much suffering, and not
knowing where to begin. Not knowing who to trust. Not knowing if it will
even make a difference!
There are so many charities out there,
promising to make a change. But who can you trust? How can you be sure
that the child you are helping is not benefiting from donations of a
dozen others?
But hold on… Don’t despair and don’t give up. Fair Life Africa Foundation exists to empower people for a fairer life. They are a vetted charity, recognised globally and are partners with GlobalGiving – www.globalgiving.co.uk/projects/18330. They have made it easier for you to give, and they know that each N1 you contribute will go where it is intended.
Through their Disadvantage to Advantage Initiative,
Fair Life Africa seeks out children who are disadvantaged in society
but brilliant academically or talented in other ways, to support them in
achieving their potentials. They do this by carrying out a full
assessment of each child who is referred to them (so you don’t have to),
in order to confirm that they are actually in great need and are ready
to succeed with a little support. They visit them where they live and
meet with their parents/guardians.
The children who fulfill their criteria
for support are then put forward to prospective donors (like you)
looking for a child in need to bless! All you need is a willingness to
support the child through to University (for academic sponsorship) or to
complete their vocational training, so they can begin to use their
skills for profit. Child sponsorship starts from N20,000 per month per
child or N250,000 a year. That’s less than you might spend on one night
out in the town!
So, what are you waiting for? You want
to meet the FLA Kids? There are currently 22 on the waiting list looking
to find a hero in you. To view their profiles, you will need to
