Contributing To A Good Sierra Leone Charity

By Rebecca Stevens


Giving is a virtue. The giving culture makes the world a better place. It is better to give than to receive. The hand that gives is the hand that receives. It is good to give to a Sierra Leone charity. This is an organization that is involved in one of the harshest places in the world. Life in Sierra Leone is not the same as life in the west. This is a country that is ravaged by disease, hunger, drought, and illiteracy among many other issues. A good percentage of people in this nation need help.

There is a lot that has been said about Sierra Leone. Those who closely follow the news might have heard about this small African country that is located in West Africa. When there was the Ebola outbreak, this nation was greatly affected because of the poor health facilities. Sierra Leone has been made unstable by unending wars and conflicts.

Contributing to charitable organizations should be the order of the day. If every person on earth who has means makes just a little contribution, the state of humanity will improve: there will be no hungry children in Africa or hopeless refugees in Asia. Humans have the capacity to improve the condition of other humans. Humans have all the solutions. It is only implementation that is needed.

The problem of poverty is a major one. A person does not have to visit the remotest parts of Africa or Asia so that to be able to see the ugly face of poverty. As a matter of fact, poverty is still in some places in the United States of America. Living in poverty is living a precarious life.

A famous Bangladeshi social entrepreneur had a message for the world when he was receiving his Noble Peace Prize. He said that it should reach a time when poverty should only belong to the museums. This is something that can easily be achieved through charitable work that fosters a culture of entrepreneurship in very underprivileged societies in the developing world.

A cash contribution is welcomed. Most charitable organizations in Sierra Leone and other parts of Africa have serious cash flow problems. Thus, they require urgent cash contributions. One does not need to have a million dollars so that to contribute. Even the smallest contribution is welcomed. It is all about giving from the heart and not from the abundance of possessions.

Of course, a person should contribute according to his means. If one is in a position to contribute ten dollars or even a hundred dollars there is totally no reason why he should contribute a dollar. Cash is not the only form of contributing. There is also contributing in kind. One can contribute clothes, shoes, books, food, and other supplies.

One should not give to the first organization that he comes across. On one hand, there are good charitable organizations. On the other hand, there are bad ones. There is the need to make a distinction between the two. For that to be the case, a person will need to do his homework. Online research will come in handy.
