Only someone with the resources of a Bill Gates or a Warren Buffet could help African children on a large scope. One example is ‘The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls’ in Gauteng province.

I often wish it was possible for me to help on a large scale. My small donation cannot impact such a gigantic situation of poverty and hunger. Yet, it does affect one child or one family. Do you ever wish you could do something to help alleviate the food shortages and hopelessness that exists in many rural African villages?

Looking at the scope of the needs of so many people, you feel incapable of tackling anything so overwhelming. The truth is you can’t. However, you can do something to help one of these children. Regardless of the amount you give, it will be enough to feed one child. You can make it possible for one child to go to school. Who can predict the future achievements of that one child? Ultimately, it will be an educated child who grows up to tackle the hunger and poverty in his geographic area.

You may not have the effect of an Oprah Winfrey or the famous Manute Bol, who played basketball in the NBA for ten years. Until his death in 2010, he provided humanitarian aid to Gogrial, Sudan, the place where he was born. Today, just as these two heroes have influenced the lives of large numbers of children, will you change the life of one small child? Thanks to you, he can go to bed with a full tummy. Thanks to you, he can go to school in the morning.

Who can predict the future? Perhaps, he is destined to become the leader who will erase poverty in his village for generations to come.
