Sadaqah is a voluntary charity which can be performed at any time of year along with any amount. Furthermore, Sadaqah is an act of kindness that brings along a huge sense of satisfaction and fulfilment and it especially reaches an all new level when donation is provided for poverty-stricken children. This is because unfortunately poverty is robbing children of their future and children face many obstacles while growing up<\/span>. \u00a0For example, poverty-stricken children who do not get the nutrition that they need will be at risk for a lifelong disability when they reach the stage of toddlerhood.<\/span> Nevertheless, you might be surprised to learn that, ultimately it might be you who can make the positive change in the lives of poverty-stricken children. Our children are our future. Here are five positive effects of giving sadaqah to children in poverty.<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. Helping Children in Need<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    5 out of 10 people living in extreme poverty are children<\/span> \u2013 there are always children out there in need of help. There\u2019s never going to be a perfect time to give but the reality is that when you donate your money to poor children<\/a>, you are helping to lift them out of poverty. <\/span><\/p>\n

    2.\u00a0Access to Education for Poor Girls<\/b><\/p>\n

    Girls are 7 out of 10 times more likely than boys to drop out of school when poverty arises. When we donate money to those in need, this will provide opportunities for the girls to pursue their education.<\/span> It is noteworthy to highlight that every year a girl who stays in school will have her earning power increases up to 25%.<\/span> Moreover these girls will eventually grow up to be mothers and it has been reported that more than 90% of the money a mother earns gets invested in her family\u2019s future.<\/span><\/p>\n

    3. Reduce Lifelong Disability<\/b><\/p>\n

    Due to poverty, many poor and needy children do not get sufficient nutrients for physical growth. This can cause lifelong disability as sufficient nutrient during the new born period till toddler hood is essential for the overall growth and development of a child. Our donation can therefore make the positive change in the overall health of poverty-stricken children. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    4. Reduce Mortality Rate<\/b><\/p>\n

    121 out of 1000 children die before their 5<\/span>th<\/span> birthday, and this is largely due to extreme poverty. Therefore it might be you who can provide the opportunity for a child to live beyond their 5<\/span>th<\/span> birthday.<\/span><\/p>\n

    5. Every Little Bit Helps<\/b><\/p>\n

    Do remember that we do not need to make large donations to make a difference to the lives of these children. Just a few dollars could result in a week\u2019s worth of meals for a starving child, much-needed medical attention, and even improved education.<\/span> Those few dollars can make a huge difference to the life of a starving child.<\/span>
