From the most difficult circumstances, the children who call Elevate A Child Africa their “Hope” have made the most of the opportunities available. They’ve embraced education, they’ve worked hard to heal past hurts, and they’ve formed tremendous bonds with us and one another. When we speak of “our children” with pride, it’s because we truly are a growing and loving family.
Empowerment
Through Elevate A Child Africa work educating less fortunate children, it became clear that deepening focus to education support constituted a critical foundation for their future and their families. It is the only way to provide a lasting solution to people being trapped by poverty, often, extreme poverty, where basic needs are not met.
Poverty is not simply a lack of physical items – food, healthcare, household items, it is a dynamic process that puts people into conditions with extreme physical and psychological risks, that if realized, are capable of ensuring a tipping point after which there is no recovery. It is through this we work diligently to offer as much sponsorships as we can.
