We All Have an Opportunity to Make a Difference

Develop Africa posted a blog article in March, 2016 about three women who were facing very difficult circumstances. The article, “An Uncertain Future for Three Pregnant Girls in West Africa,” inspired the following response.

By Martha Cooper

Women like Fatuma, Abuna, and Christiana are faced with disadvantages because they are pregnant and alone. Often, these women become pregnant because they were forced to have sex with someone against their will. Imagine if you were in a situation like these women. How would you feel carrying a baby for nine months with no shelter, food, water and no help? Being a mother is supposed to be something amazing, beautiful, joyful, and exciting. It is hard enough alone just carrying a baby for nine months without having to struggle to survive.

It's time for a change

Many women around the world are vulnerable and in need of help. Christiana was fortunate enough to get help and a chance at a better future. But we can help change the lives of women like Fatuma and Abuna if we all work together as one. We can help provide them with a brighter, more certain future.

Donating through Develop Africa’s website is a great place to start. Contributing clothing, water, food and accommodations for women in need is also a great way to help. The easiest thing you can do to affect change is to let the world know what children and women like Fatuma, Abuna and Christiana are going through by sharing their stories on social media sites.

We need your support

Everyone woman and man should have the same equality and justice. What these women are going through is unjustifiable. Together, I believe that we can change the lives of people who are in extreme poverty. We can all be a part of this mission to help change lives.

Wouldn't it be a blessing if you knew that someone was happy and living a good life because of the contributions you had made for this to be possible?  It can be so amazing and bring a smile to your face to know that you have helped vulnerable young single mothers who live in poverty.

 

Families in Sierra Leone face unprecedented challenges due to rising costs. Inflation makes it difficult for them to afford basic food staples such as rice, cooking oil, and onions.

Extending a helping hand can alleviate a significant burden and provide essential relief to the less fortunate.

Give the Gift of Joy This Holiday Season 🎁


You can light up a child's life in Africa this holiday season. Imagine the joy of a young girl opening her very first book or a boy receiving a backpack filled with school supplies to fuel his dreams. For many children, a holiday gift isn't just a moment of happiness – it’s a message of hope, love, and possibility.

At Develop Africa, we believe every child deserves to feel special, especially during the holidays. But for too many children in underserved communities, the season comes and goes without even a small token of celebration. With your help, we can change that.

A donation of just $25 can provide a meaningful gift – a backpack, school supplies, or even a toy – to a needy child. Your generosity will show them that someone far away cares deeply about their future and happiness.

Make this holiday season unforgettable for a child. Please donate now to our Holiday Gift for a Child campaign and be part of a life-changing moment. Together, we can spread joy, ignite hope, and make the holidays magical for children in Africa.
