If you find it tragic that there’re children who have given up on dreaming, then please read on…
For children living in the township of Sada, north of Cape Town, every day is a struggle for survival.
With no electricity or running water, no kitchen and no food, it’s no wonder that youngsters’ dreams are born and die in places like this.
They beg for food from neighbours, and don’t have money to afford school fees or school uniforms. And that’s when the shame of ‘being different’ to their classmates ... of being scorned for wearing broken shoes or clothes that don’t fit properly ... starts to kill their dreams of getting an education, and leaving this forgotten town.
If you’re a friend of HOPE Africa you can help by sending a donation to make a difference right away.
The truth is – unless people care enough to help – they won’t have a future.
The ‘luckier’ scholars can afford uniforms and stationery and take a packed lunchbox to school every day.
Your online gift sent off right now will be a Godsend for the volunteers at our nearby community centre – every gift will make a difference.
So if you agree that every child deserves an education and to be spared the shame of feeling ‘different’ – please send your gift right away.
Your kindness will do so much more than feed and clothe the children. It’ll let them know that they matter, and that they can believe in themselves – and their dreams.
By partnering with us, these youngsters can learn, grow and play like every child deserves to.
It may be a long road to healing and happiness for these children. But knowing you’re walking alongside them makes their journey promising – and the destination possible.
