The system for child welfare in africa is horridly corrupted. The best solution is NOT TO SEND MONEY. Sending money allows for easy corruption. If you are going to send any aid, it should be in it's natural form: food, blankets, vaccines, books, etc. the best help would be through education, to teach the children and their parents how to stabilize their situation and economy. Teach them how to grow their own food, and create their own industry. This impowers the people to take care of themselves, rather than relying on corrupt leaders, etc.

I suggest you check with American Red Cross for financial needs.  You can also pray.  Trust in others to help you get the funding by requesting donations in a cup or glass jar with a sign posted, that says: Save the Children of Kenya.  We are suffering for land needed to keep schools open for business.  Do this in two languages.  Your native language and also another language that most people are familar with in Kenya, be it English or not.  Submit pictures of the children with the school and the land plot beside them.  No smiles, but ask the children to go around with the cups requesting help.  A penny here, a penny there, and people's hearts will open when they see such children starving for love and affection and financial help with building and keeping the lot.  No matter what your government says or does, fight back with your words.  But do not take up arms against your neighbor, brother, or sister, when it is the children who need the plot.  After all else fails, and all ignorance and all fears are observed, demand resititution from the military who exerts control over your people, for your people are also mine, and yet we are like strangers from distant countries.  All of us brothers and sisters under God.  Preach the message and encourage the children to help out, but expect the people to drop some money in a cup.  This is what the Lord says through me.  You do not suffer.  You end the suffering by stepping up and acting as a leader!  You love the children, then do everything in your power to ensure they are safe and happy where they are, because one day, money shall rain from the skies like manna from Heaven, and then will you and your country be fulfilled?  Not unless you start acting today.

Why restrict it to N. Africa. This continent produces nothing but wars, killings, tribalism and incompetent fools, fraudsters, sheep and bankrupt governments. They make me sick. The truth will hurt on this one. Mind you they get all the assist they need from morally bankrupt Westerners and Nations. Margaret Thatcher's son, MARK THATCHER, who now holds a CRIMINAL RECORD for his gun selling activities and support for coup makers, makes my point.\n\nSPECIAL THANKS TO Habblis for pointing out the facts as they exist.

Way to play the undeserving victim.  Maybe if Africa could pull its head out of its ass long enough to form some sort of stable government and quit raping and pillaging their entire populations, then maybe you would actually have a reason to be proud to be an African.

You're not too young to speak your mind, you just did. You sound like a "cool kid".  When you get a little older, you can make a difference by becoming involved in the solution. I hate war too. (and I am muslim)

Print out some pictures - of kenya and of starvation, if possible starving people in Africa and then stitch out yr prez based on 'em. Give reasons how it can be solved - show some pics of organizations who do just that.

Good question.  My answer is that (a)the corrupt element controls the guns and the military and (b) the history of Africa is the history of TRIBALISM ('my people don't like your people and we never will'). Tribal animosities are encouraged by the dictators. Things don't seem to be getting better -- maybe the conern over the dark continent is just a waste of time and effort.

Have you taught them about Kurdish kids BEFORE this war? Is there some Hitlerish plan to incinerate Iraqi children that we haven't heard of? Keep things in context, and remember that this has been a SHORT war with amazingly few casualties, most of which are inflicted BY IRAQIS!!!!!!\nNo comparison to Nazi genocide is possible.

I didn't see any reports about Sudan by either George Clooney, Lisa Ling, or Oprah Winfrey, but the Islamist genocide and the fact that Osama has vowed to send members of Al-Qaida to protect the government if we protect the people has further cemented my belief that radical Islam is the cause of the problem, as it is in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Palestinian territories, Thailand, the Philippines, and other hot spots in the Muslim world, not to mention parts of the west where Fifth-Columnist Jihadists advocate war against the west, like in the USA, UK, and Continental Europe. In this case I say we should do the same thing in Sudan that we're doing in Iraq -- Overthrow the regime and kill any terrorists who try to take over!

Too True. Why not? the 'West' continue to enjoy the fruits of exploitation whilst turning a blind eye to the exploited. In having it in your face you will at least not claim not to know. Africa frnakly needs to take it's own affairs in hand and kick out the exploiters.

Invasion of Afghanistan... anyone would have done that...\n\nMedicaid prescription program... good idea, poorly executed... but still helps some people some...\n\nI think there has been some African aids funding... that's good...\n\nHe's done some for Darfur... not enough, but doing something is better than nothing I guess?\n\nThere are more... I mean... I'm not going to say that there is nothing... \n\nBut there are many more issues that I have serious problems with than those that I like of his... but that's not what you asked...

It is kind of hard to help your kids in Darfur when there is a genocide going on. Men, women, and children are taking off the street and brutally beaten to death. Limbs are being chopped off. Children are kidnapped and are made to be soldiers.

Hi there;\n\nI have to hand it to you! You are showing a lot of gumption for taking on an assignment covering an entire continent of nations like that.\nI can list for you some very fine links (safe links) which can assist you in your endeavors. Good luck I hope you do well. :)

The worst things that have happened lately is in the country of Rwanda. A genocide in where 800,000 people, including women and children were viciously tortured, raped, beaten and killed.\n\nRwanda was a Belgium colony before being Rwanda. In order to have more effective control over their dominions they divided all people in two distinct social classes: HUTUS and TUTSIS, they are slightly different.\n\nThey cruelly decided to give TUTSIS all the priviledges, best posts, best housing, best everything, and the price was to be loyal to the Belgian authorities, they even were the Belgian police. \n\nAnd to the HUTUS they treated them like animals, by means of the TUTSIS.\n\nWhen the Belgians left, the country became chaos, ridled with Civil war between this artificially created difference in races.\n\nAfter the assasination of a HUTU president, all hell broke loose, the HUTU government, backed of by the Interhamwe, an illegal militia of killers, began sistematically killing every TUTSI they saw, and very viciously.\n\nBecause Rwanda did not have any important economic interests with no big power, and it did not have any major power country as a friend, no one intervened in helping stop this slaughter, even the UN and our country, the United States, turned their backs on them. NO ONE helped.\nYou can rent the movie Hotel Rwanda. It is very clear there what happened. \n\nThe United States did not want to participate do to the recent memory of what happened to the military personnel we had in Somalia in 1992 (you can see it in the movie BLACK HAWK DOWN), a terrible tragedy for us....\na big tragedy for US soldiers.
