Growing Up in Africa (full documentary)


Africa is the continent with the highest percentage of children with AIDS, orphans, forced to work nine hours a day for seven days a week in prostitution or suffering from various types of slavery.

Various NGOs and private institutions make everything they can to help these children. We will approach them to see some of their efforts they use…

  1. Finished the entire documentary, this was fantastic as it covered so many different countries in Africa and demonstrated what is unique to some of these areas regarding those living in poverty and the effect it has on the children. I praise those who are doing something about the outcomes for these children. For once it is nice to see a documentary told from the point of view of those who are native, living and growing up in these countries on the continent of Africa.

    I am glad Apartheid ended!

    I am ashamed to say that in many states of the United States of America racism is alive and well and rears it's ugly head. I am considered to be Caucasian, but am also part Native American as well well as part English, Irish and Russian. I hate it that in 2023 the human race is still caught up in SKIN color. The Human Genome project settled it for all time that all of us are of ONE race–just different shades of brown, period. Some are darker than others, some are lighter than others due to the genetic drift and bottle necking of populations by where they live on the globe. WE are all related to each other!!

    To get this straight in our minds, Jesus Christ was born in the Middle East–probably dark skin–and Adam and Eve who were originally living probably in what is now AFRICA might also have been dark skinned. Abraham was no doubt of Arabic decent and dark skinned–living in the Middle East too. He traveled to a country in AFRICA, which is Egypt! HELLO–anyone get this? It was the tower of Babel that separated all the people to different parts of the globe that started changing the melatonin in our skin–which became part of the intricacies of DNA in different peopled groups.

    IT is physically possible for a married couple ANYWHERE in the world to have 12 or children and have them be different skin tones from "white to darkest black"–I witnessed that working in a pediatrics office. A "white" couple had twins, one was "white" one was "black" DNA proved both were related to each parent!! I saw the same thing happen with a "black couple."

    This is why I solemnly believe there are no black people or white people–just different shades of brown people. God wants us all to love each other, to get along with each other and accept each other. WE just have different Cultures.

    I loved this documentary, although I cried in places for the children. I loved how the documentary roved around different countries in AFRICA. YES, Africa itself is a beautiful place as a whole. Wonderful wildlife, beautiful scenery. NO doubt–but that was not the focus of this documentary. It was about children and their cultures and poverty and how each government of different countries and their communities are doing. For this, it is a wonderful documentary. Thanks! I am keeping it in my list of favorite documentaries to share with friends and family!!!!

  2. i did not know it was this bad in places in Africa. It saddens me. I knew that there are places of severe poverty, but I did not realize just how bad to cause parents to sell their own children into slavery. I know that this also happens in the Middle East too, with children being sold into slavery and being chained to their work stations, often being worked to death.

    This kind of thing can happen anywhere. WE even have white sex trade slavery in the United States for both sexes, and children.

    It can happen anywhere, where evil is allowed to exist and people have the choice to do wicked things and poverty exists side by side.

    Thank God for those who are trying to do something about these things and stop the exploitation of Children.

    This is exactly why someday, God is going to Judge the world as a whole, Jesus will come back and those found wanting doing these wicked things will be destroyed for all time. Those that love Him and do His will, especially saving Children will be in His heaven.

    Thanks for this documentary. I am a prayer warrior at my church. I will add these African Children and the agencies who help them, to my daily prayer list! God bless, from a blessed person also living in poverty in America.

  4. nobody can choose your parents and the place where you are born. But look at them , it makes me realize how lucky some are, meanwhile others are not.

  5. Now people will start looking down on all Africans because of some poor living conditions in some country, God save Africa from this people or we will all be dehumanised and generalised

  6. kwasiakwa if Lionel Messi teach his son how to play football that one not child labour, If Africa man teach his son in farming that one child labour may thunder fire you

  7. I grew up in Africa and these so called facts were not there. I had a happy childhood and worked for fun. people need to stop making these nonsense facts about africa. Africa is a Continent not a
    Country so stop talking about the whole africa as if you have in been the whole africa.
