The Surround-A-Child Program
Children
are the heart of village life. By investing in children, you can help set
them on the path of economic independence and stabilize the village.
Your sponsorship will
provide a child such as Uloma with the opportunity
for growth and education. She is in 2nd grade in the Community Primary School
in the rural village of Ubulu , Imo State (formerly
Biafra), Nigeria
Action Africa ’s
program
surrounds children with support so they can attend school, purchase
school uniforms and supplies, receive medical care, and get nutritional supplements.
It is insurance against poverty factors that can force children out of school
Your monthly donation
of $12 will cover all the necessary costs to support this child’s well-being
as well as educational costs.
The Surround-a-Child
Program works in partnership with the local teacher’s association representing
all the village schools as well as village chiefs and elders and medical teams. They help determine which children are at risk
of dropping out of school because of poverty factors and monitor the type
of support needed as well as academic performance.
Once a month all the
sponsored children come together to accomplish a task to benefit the village.
Children learn that they are special and can give back to the community. These
activities heighten their knowledge that the village needs them: while they
are recipients of support, they also are contributors of support to the village.
The teacher’s association collaborates in selecting the activity: picking
up trash at the market place, arts and craft activities that will enliven
a public place such as at the school, helping elderly or infirm villagers.
When you sponsor a child, you are working
towards a sustainable solution. Education affects a child’s ability to make
good decisions and attain self-sufficiency.
Join us. Change is within reach.
Just ask Uloma.
