WHAT IT COSTS BE AN AFRICAN CHILD 🥺

Hello to my readers!

Africa is the world's second-largest and second-most populous continent On planet earth. It covers 6% of Earth's total surface area and 20% of its land area.

Today I want to share to you some of the costs of being an African child since I have ever been one of them some years back.

Am African child goes through a lot to become a grown up person. Most of the African children miss a lot during their growth stage. For example some of them don’t get a chance to get true parental love, some even fail to get what to eat in time yet others find it hard to educate in time due to lack of school fees.

Due to the big number of poor parents in Africa, this has made also children victims of suffering. They lack food, clean water, shelter, medication hence poor growth.

Child labour has increased on the continent of Africa since most of the parents don’t see any value of educating their children since they also never educated. This has also resulted into child abuses like rape, pregnancies, since the children are much exposed to the world, this has also resulted into infectious diseases like HIV AIDS.

When it comes to education, matters worsen. Children from poor families seem not to have any right to education. They are sent to poor and failed schools with poor education materials, poor buildings, lack of test books yet at the end of the day they have to compete with those who study from nicer schools.

I there for call upon all the African leaders to fight for the rights of an African child for the better of Our continent Africa.
