FEED ONE CHILD TODAY

When you Feed One Child Today, you invest in their future. With your help, we can provide some of Africa’s most vulnerable children with nutritious meals sourced and grown by the local community. We strongly advocate that “It takes a community to raise a child”; an entire community of people is needed to interact with children for those children to experience and grow in a safe and healthy environment.

BACK TO SCHOOL APPEAL

Currently, Sub Saharan Africa, less than half of all children will ever get the chance to read or write in primary school. Orphans and children from poor families who cannot afford compulsory school fees, uniforms or basic school supplies are often those most affected. Currently, in Sub Saharan Africa, less than half of all children will ever get the chance to read or write in primary school. Often it is orphans and children from poor families who cannot afford compulsory school fees, uniforms or basic school supplies; or those living in countries affected by poverty and disaster and there is a severe lack of school infrastructure. Some schools are lack of school furniture no benches no blackboard This year, we are launching an appeal to helped over 6000 children in Sierra Leone, Mali, Chad, Senegal, The Gambia, Ghana, Togo, Benin Central African Republic, Cameroon, Liberia and Burkina Faso to get ready for school Your donation of (£100) provides full kits uniforms, schools bag and basic school supplies What now? We want to provide children with an equal start to life by planning our programs through a holistic lens. By donating to our Child Community Sponsorship your donation will not support just one child but will benefit their families and the -community! How?
Family Income we provides financial assistance and training of new skills to support parents to start their own businesses. This is to help provide a stable income and ensure a stable family home so children and families can have a better livelihood. Example: provide cash grants to start sustainable businesses. Learning Opportunities we provide a strong foundation for children through supporting primary and secondary schools. This support includes teacher training, nutritional help of students, school learning materials and activities that help children to stay in school. Example: Parent & Teacher Associations – encouraging enrolment & retention of children in school, fostering community involvement. Generation of Growth our sponsorship programme is a commitment of 3 – 5 years of support; this long-term commitment allows us to thoroughly assess the community’s needs, combining local knowledge and our expertise so that we find long lasting solutions together. Example: Renovation of school buildings and classrooms, e-learning (where feasible), and access to child healthcare. Community Benefits your donation will fund vital projects that the whole community can benefit from. This can include access to medicine, clean water facilities and ensure that safeguarding systems are in place to prevent child exploitation. Example: Upgrade WASH facilities e.g. installing hand pumps and latrines, ensuring privacy (especially for girls). How does it work? Our programmes team identifies the regions and communities that are most in need, understanding the challenges they are facing and how we can develop a long-term plan to create a more secure future and safer environment for children. Once you donate your monthly support gets combined with the support of other sponsors to ensure ALL children under the International Islamic Youth League IIYL Child Community Programme receive the life-changing benefits of sponsorship Orphans Africa our field offices the International Islamic Youth League (IIYL) which operates in over sixty school programs in Africa and according to a model of selfsustainability Meaning, that once the school is operational, fully constructed, and registered with the government, it is capable of supporting itself International Islamic Youth League (IIYL-UK) model combines tuition-paying students with fully-dependent orphan students. Tuition received from parents of non-orphan students covers the costs of teachers’ salaries, school operation, plus the room and board of the orphans. Also, by combining non-orphans with orphans, social stigmas and prejudices are reduced as opposed to being reinforced through orphan-only schools. International Islamic Youth League (IIYL-UK) believes in development and independence, not aid. Development at the grassroots level empowers people to rise to their own giftedness, to break the cycle of poverty, and to one day declare, “We have overcome.”

CHALLENGE

West Africa is one of the most HIV/AIDS affected countries with high number of needy orphans. Adequate Health care is not easily accessible and has high costs in this poor rural area; by the time patients have died, their caregiver relatives and their defendant children are destitute. Because of this and the stigma attached to AIDS, few people in this area are able to support orphans, whose numbers have grown. This project will support orphans by working through schools and community

SOLUTION

Schools feeding programme, scholarships and provision of school supplies, counseling, medical care, trainings on HIV prevention and care, give micro grants to orphans’ guardians to start businesses and provision of basic domestic needs.
