Development Channel, a company which recently opened offices in Uganda, has launched an initiative dubbed “African Child Poverty Alleviator” which is aimed at improving the quality of life for the African child.
Speaking at the launch of the initiative at their offices in Kamwokya on Friday, Charles Lambert, the Chairman of Development Channel, reiterated that Africa’s future can only be bright if the children, who are its foundation, are provided with a support system to ensure their well being and prosperity.
“Child poverty is the worst kind of poverty to hit a nation because it attacks the basic foundation for its future. A poor child is certain to lack adequate education, and is very vulnerable to criminal tendencies. Therefore if the children are poor, then the future is gloom.” He stated.
“Developed countries like UK, USA, Australia, and China among others all have various programs to cater for the growth and well-being of its children and this ensures they grow to be better and very competitive on the global stage unlike those born in Africa.” He added.
According to Lambert, the “African Child Poverty Alleviator” will ensure continued sustainability of African children thus redirecting their future from an impending doom to a bright one. To benefit from this initiative, children will be enrolled by acquiring one of the company’s mobile devices which will give them access to different developmental and educational tools.
Development Channel is a conglomerate of 25 companies aimed at uplifting the quality of African lives by promoting African industrialization through embracing emerging technologies.
