Africa a continent that has a lot of children living in poverty and this affects children and women the most. Children are innocent but the poverty levels in the continent forces the children to leave in very bad conditions. A lot of these children depend on the help of well-wishers for them to survive. So why should you be part of the people who offer a helping hand to these children?
Taxations Benefits
When the government is calculating taxes, it offers some form of relief for the people who offer help to charity. The government does this to encourage people to offer help and to become charitable. You will therefore notice that when you give out funds in form of charity you will pay a lower tax than you would if you have not contributed. If you are looking for ways to decrease the taxes that you pay, you may start with giving out funds to recognized charities.
Save Lives
A lot of the children that rely on charity do not have parents and those that have parents; the parents are not in a position to cater to their needs. Charities offer help to meet the, most basic needs such as food, shelter and clothing. By donating to charities in Africa meant for children you will be saving a life and offering a child the opportunity to have a better quality of life than they have right now.
Religious Duty
If you are religious, every religion demands that people assist each other and particularly those in need. For instance, if you are a Christian, the bible states that one should feed the hungry and cloth those that do not have food. By contributing to these charities you will be offering food, clothing and even shelter to needy children.
Gives you a sense of Fulfillment
A lot of people are looking for a way to feel fulfilled. Doing Good allows you to feel god about yourself and it provides you a sense of purpose. If you are looking for a purpose in life, it may just be helping others. Contribute to assist these children and you will feel fulfilled. Helping these needy children allows you to change the world into a better place. There is so little that an individual can do by themselves but when one can play a small role that can change a major part of a child’s life.
Being charitable has many advantages but you also need to choose the charitable organization that you will contribute to wisely. If possible, it is important that you visit the organization to ensure that the money that you are contributing goes to helping the needy. If you cannot visit, ensure that the charitable organization is registered and they should have evidence to show that they are using your money to assist the needy in the society. It is important to offer help to the needy and particularly offer help to children who are leaving in poor condition and in third world countries that can barely manage to cater to the needs of these children.
