Is an initiative by Chris Alfred Foundation aimed at increasing access to quality education for marginalized and underprivileged communities. Recognizing the critical role of education in breaking the cycle of poverty, this project seeks to create sustainable educational opportunities and support systems for children and youth in most African Countries.
Some 29 million girls aged between 6 and 15 do not go to school. Many of them will never enter a classroom because when a girl at the age of 10 has never attended a school, the probability is very high that she will never visit one.
The few lucky ones who can go to school will receive a training for a maximum of six years.
In today’s world, extremists are particularly interested in destroying the life of these school girls, their families and their villages. In addition, there is the extreme poverty, which forces many girls to give up their schooling in the hope of a better life with work.
In addition to social hurdles that hinder education, the learning conditions in the schools are not optimal: Often more than 50 children are in one class and three or more children share a textbook. Only 20% of schools have electricity and almost half have access to drinking water. Schools with no toilets or mixed toilets also represent a health and safety risk ESPECIALLY for girls.
Let's Giving Be Part of Our Lives.
We are sure you are aware of the important role that CHRIS ALFRED FOUNDATION plays in helping people whose lives are impacted by POVERTY.
These people profoundly need you and me to survive and sustain them, especially the children who are the hope of our future. We should not throw the baby with the bath water because of the principle.
If you decided to neglect them, this would no doubt increase further pains and unbearable sorrows to their lives. Let passion and compassion inspire us for the well-being of these people.
Let us try to find a way to make the children weep no more, their dreams and expectation from you is their only hope and courage.
What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.
