We wish to appeal that you kindly accept to sponsor a child for the African Youth Development Foundation (AFRYDEF).

In Africa, many families live under the poverty line of USD 1 per day and therefore cannot afford to feed their children. Think of it, how would these poor families then be able to pay for their children's medical needs as well as provide them with the basic education needed to empower them for life?  

These uneducated and unhealthy children therefore grow up into adulthood, get married early and begin to make their own large families (of at least ten children each) like their parents due to idleness and frustration.

The cycle of poverty continues . . !

Illiteracy, hunger, starvation, premature death, crime, kidnapping, armed robbery, prostitution, economic-driven violence, etc becomes the other of the day.

It is this cycle of poverty which has remained unattended to that gave birth to AFRYDEF and its objectives and programmes in 1999.

Therefore, we wish to urge you to sponsor or adopt any of these children and women by making a donation to enable us provide their needs.

You can also donate used clothes, books, food items, shoes, etc.

Please, contact us at info@afrydef.org or afrydef@yahoo.com for such donations.
