WHAT EVENT OR PROJECT OR PROGRAMME OR CAMPAIGN THAT NEEDS SUPPORT ▼
We always have initiatives that need funding and/or other forms of support.
At the moment, we are currently re-appealing for support of poor Children, Young People and Families in Africa over this Summer 2018.
The initiatives presented here are a re-appeal as the need is still there in Africa and it has never been met. We are re-appealing to you to support poor children, young people and families over this Summer.
THE NEED
In a recent study by the World Bank Group, it is stated that
“In Sub-Saharan Africa, a high portion of fatal health effects due to air pollution are suffered by children younger than age 5 years. Children represented 16 percent of the region’s population in 2015 and 26 percent of pollution-attributed deaths (p.178).
(World Bank Group, The Changing Wealth of Nations 2018 – Building a Sustainable Future, Edited by Glenn-Marie Lange, Quentin Wodon and Kevin Carey, 2018
According to the same World Bank Group,
“52 percent of the extremely poor children worldwide live in Sub-Saharan Africa; almost half of all the poor on the subcontinent are 14 years of age or younger. Families that are trying to get by on less than $1.90 a day may not prioritize the prevention of environmental crisis”. These families include those in Africa.
(World Bank Group, Poverty and Shared Prosperity 2016: Taking on Inequality)
Likewise, the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa (UNECA) argue that
“Africa’s poverty gap is nearly twice the global gap – 15.2 per cent versus 8.8 per cent”
(UNECA: Economic Report on Africa 2017, Industrialization for Africa’s Transformation, 2017, Ethiopia)
Equally, for the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) “In 2013 Sub-Saharan Africa accounted for more of the poor – 389 million people – than all other regions combined; the share of the region in the global (poor) was 50.7 percent”
(UNDP: Human Development Report 2016 – Human Development for Everyone, New York, USA)
These above data from multilateral agencies just highlight CENFACS’ findings and the reality on the ground in Africa in the area of operation of CENFACS. Therefore, there is a need out there that deservingly requires support and together with locals we have projects to respond.
THE PROJECTS
Here are 5 Summer Humanitarian Relief Appeal projects we have selected for this Summer 2017; projects that need funding.
AG4AP, which stands for All Kinds of Gifts for All Types of Poor People in Africa, is the holiday makers’ and travellers’ free and voluntary contribution to poverty relief in Africa via CENFACS.
DfSA (Distress-free Summertime in Africa) brings hopes and dreams, as a humanitarian reliever, to multi-dimensionally distressed CYPFs in dire need of help in Africa by enabling them to move out poverty in the summertime and beyond.
N●P (Networking and Protection) is designed to help and support vulnerably poor children to escape from HARMS, THREATS, ATTACKS, EXTREMISMS, RADICALISATION and RISKS of any forms of exploitation, neglect and abuse in Africa.
iYCD (Iconic Young Carer of Development): a deserving cause which supports poor children and young people who prematurely become African caregivers and labourers because of poverty, aims at improving the quality of life of young caregivers and labourers by responding to their basic needs and human rights.
ELCLASSICO International is a CENFACS combined Sports Development, Child Protection and Sustainable Development initiatives that aims at reducing child and youth poverty, protecting children and bringing a better change to impoverished people, communities, children, young people and future generations in Africa.

THE ASK
CENFACS is appealing to you to donate £2 to achieve one last benefit/relief.
What your donation can achieve –
The above relief figures/maths summarise what £2 can achieve. However, by expanding a bit we can anticipate the following use and impacts.
£2 to All Kinds of Gifts for All Types of Poor in Africa, can help to buy mosquito nets and anti-malaria drugs as well as combat other tropical diseases
£2 to Distress-free Summertime in Africa, can help Poor Children, Young People and Families; to run summer training activities of afforestation skills and cover the costs of farming tools (such as hoes, wheel barrows, rakes, spades and shovels, picks, axes etc.)
£2 to Networking and Protection can help to raise awareness and call to action against the forces of exploitation and destruction of children
£2 to Young Carer of Development can help to pay for the educational costs of poor children who become premature young caregivers and labourers so that they can return to universal and primary education
£2 to ELCLASSICO International can help to run a grass roots campaign of sensitisation about air pollution while protecting children and supporting child development through sporting activities.
To realise a total of 5 lasting benefits, it requires a donation of £10.
THE BENEFICIARIES
This 2018 Summer humanitarian appeal will benefit #Poor Children, #Young People and #Families with critical or severe level of poverty. When supporting CYPFs you are not only financially supporting them but their lives will be transformed as they get help to help themselves.
You are giving them a choice or a possibility to choose.
The current appeal and above projects (the Humanitarian Relief Appeal Projects) are part CENFACS Summer Programme of Work and Strategy for working together with local CYPFs to relieve poverty amongst them during the summertime and beyond in Africa –
To smooth the process of supporting these projects, CENFACS is ready to post to you and or to any other potential supporters their details for consideration to support. Likewise, CENFACS is ready to talk to you/potential funders about them if wanting us to do so.
Thank you in anticipation for your willingness to give a choice to poor CYPFs.
