Support my Future Today (SMFT)
About the Children's Support
THE CHILD PLAN
This is something we have been doing over the past decades; helping school going children and non-going ones to be enrolled in basic schools for education, help in their financial demands…. However, for the past 3 years, it has been intensified and currently as we are speaking, we have over 30 children we are helping in life circumstances, some beneficiaries have got admissions into the tertiary level of education. Though we are not helping such ones fully, however a significant help had been offered, for example, buying of learning materials for school, seldom payment of full or part payment of their school fees, provision of school uniforms and among others.
We started this when upon surgery, we saw that when the prime targets of our NGO, that is, the AGED are helped, they tend using this little help or gain to cater for their grandsons and daughters, which gets back two square zero, so we thought it wise to have some level of eye and care for these young ones as well.
Formation
Support my Future today (SMFT) is non-governmental, nondenominational and non-profit making organization, established, in 2015 by five (5) children at Seneh Bokankye Atwima Nwabiagya District of Ashanti Region, to promote the well-being of children in our society/Ghana. It is well recognized in Ghana with population of over 30 children.
Mission
To advance the interest and welfare of these children in Ghana as a whole, regardless of sex, creed and colour.
What we will do for the children
The society will extend financial support, to children aged six (6) years upwards who are depending on elderly persons. This will help them to go to school whiles staying with members of the society.
The one-time bulk payment of money depending on the situation of the child keep company with the elderly.
It will keep the relationship that exist between the elderly person and the parents of the child or children.
The extended family is an age long social security for the elderly which is gradually growing weak in our traditional society
The society will monitor to ensure that such children remain in school till they attain age eighteen years (18years)
