The World Health Organization reports that about forty percent of Africa's population is made up of disabled people, almost 300 million people! Among them, 10 to 15 percent of disabled people are school-age children.
Disability is caused by many factors. The main causes are: malnutrition and diseases, including polio, already forgotten in Europe, environmental hazards, increasingly frequent road and industrial accidents, civil wars. The number of disabled people is constantly increasing.
Poverty in African countries is a fact. The inhabitants of many countries struggle with a difficult situation and the necessity of a daily struggle to meet the basic needs of themselves and their loved ones. Children suffer the most. Every day, as many as 12 thousand die before the age of 5. They die quietly... from hunger and disease.
The list of the continent's problems is long: malnutrition and hunger, inadequate health care and disease, illiteracy, corruption, wars and huge debt. Africa is the poorest continent in the world, with the lowest national income per capita.
Healthcare in Africa is among the least effective in the world. It is difficult to access for ordinary people. The main causes of death are HIV/AIDS, malaria, respiratory diseases, diarrhea, perinatal complications and many others.
Clinics and small health centers provide medical consultations, diagnostics, routine treatment. The effectiveness of health services is below standards. There is a shortage of medical workers, diagnostic equipment and medicines. Health facilities suffer from lack of electricity and access to clean water.
Education is a fundamental human right. Depriving millions of young Africans of this right is one of the most outrageous injustices of the modern world!
Poor African countries are unable to provide even basic education for their children. The authorities often do not even care about it. It is easier to run a country of uneducated people.
The program consists of collecting funds and dividing them into the most urgent needs reported by missionaries or representatives of the foundation visiting Africa. The funds are allocated to help specific children, talented youth, poor families, the sick and elderly, health care institutions, schools...
The Memorial Fund is a "living monument" commemorating a wonderful man, a holy priest, a friend of missions and the poor in Africa, Fr. Andrzej Lemieszko - pastor of the Children of Africa Foundation in 2010-2024.
People of Beautiful Hearts supports orphans, children from the poorest families and young, talented, poor students. Thanks to education, the youngest generation of Africans is changing their way of thinking, broadening their horizons, seeing and understanding more.
This type of help, provided not only by our foundation, but also by many other organizations around the world, must translate into the situation in Africa. The positive changes that everyone has been waiting for for so long are already starting to happen...
