Education is a powerful tool against poverty and all other ills of the society. Unfortunately, in places such as Togo, West Africa, education can feel like an elusive dream to the young people. This is the reason why a lot of non-profit organizations in Chicago, Illinois, such as My Excellency Complex, extend a helping hand in providing quality education to these underprivileged parts of the world.

- Reduces poverty
When a person earns a college degree, they have more chances of getting hired for higher positions, thus increasing their personal income. When all members of the family have been schooled, they would have chances of higher earnings than their parents, hence putting a stop to their line of poverty.
- Strengthens a country’s economy
When a country’s citizens are educated, there will be more opportunities to engage in international trades which can bring in more employment breaks in the local arena. Consequently, the country’s local economy is also boosted and the cycle of economic growth can be expected to rise.
- Boosts health
Health information is distributed in literary materials and well-understood by those who have been taught in school. The educated group will have more openness on immunization, family planning, and other healthy practices that are founded on scientific basis over traditional practices and cultural beliefs.
- Develops peace
When citizens are educated, they will be more engaged in the building up of ideas for peace, improvement, and betterment.
- Reduces over-population
Educated women will become mothers who understand the safety nets of regulated childbirth, and will have more inclination in getting further learning rather than in worrying about where to get the next meal.
- Lessens chances of disaster-related deaths
With education, people will learn of practical and reliable ways to survive disasters and how to reduce risks of deaths.
- Promotes gender equality
When women are educated, they will be qualified for work in the same qualification with the educated men. They can even move to higher ladders and paid even more.
- Reduces maternal deaths
Women learn from school that there’s mature age for child-bearing and childbirth, thus reducing their risks of getting pregnant early and of giving birth at a young age.
- Reduces early marriage
With education, men and women will have serious consideration of their future. They will see that being educated will give a better future for their families, and so they will opt to postpone early proposals.
- Saves kids’ lives
Since children are prone to many health risks which could be fatal to most of them, the educated mother will know the preventive measures of minor illnesses. Kids of educated parents can be properly cared for in their formative years.
With quality education, children who have been taught in universities and Christian-based schools can pick themselves up from poverty and move to a brighter future. If you’d like to help give education to one child today, contact us online.
