I've added this as I want to mention again something I said that you ignored.
I said: Try to think as an African
Countries all over the world are short of money because they waste it on armies, fighter jets etc.
to look to them for solving problems with educating children, is a waste of time.
In the old days, the men did the hunting and watching their cattle and so n, or else they sat with friends and drank beer and talked. The women mostly did a little bit of farming. The children needed to learn how to live safely. Often it was the grandparents who taught them.
So, are there any older people, what we call pensioners, who are struggling to make ends meet, but they have a skill or knowledge (for instance, they can read or do simple arithmetic)?
For children who are not going to be offered any education, would it not be good if these elders teach them? In return, perhaps a church would pay for a meal to be provided to the elder teachers, while it means the elders also have company and feel useful.
Children need to be taught morals and skills. Almost an unlimited number of skills can be taught. How to fix a bicycle, a puncture, how to work with wood, how to sow and repair clothes...use your imagination.
That was just an idea for you to play with. Teachers are expensive and not that easy to find. Use those with experience and skills to help the children and your costs will be very small. Maybe, for some lucky children, they will benefit by feeling the old person cares for them, and they will also care for the elder, as if he/she is a grandparent. Both sides benefit!
Awesome idea.
And this:
Well noted too.
Are you also implying that i edit my work?

Not the above. Once you have made the post, the header cannot be changed.
Just an idea. I prepare my post, re-read it, go make a coffee, talk on the phone, read, whatever, or even prepare the next post. After a couple of hours with my mind on other things, I return to read once more and make corrections. I am always surprised by how many mistakes I find.
I am glad you liked my idea. Another idea that is being used by others here, they have convinced a major supermarket chain to finance an orphanage, for them to have a small field for teaching the kids how to grow food using some modern methods. The food must not be GMO and no pesticides or other poisons should be used and the seeds should be taken/bought from small villages, far from GMO farms. This makes it possible for the shop to sell the produce as organic. The orphanage also arranges for the older kids, say a group of 4 or 5 to be employed for getting a vegetable garden started in the backyard of those who want their own organic food. This way, the kids can start their own business and earn money, while helping people to feed their own families food that is healthy.
