A necessary choice

Attention to the youngest children is most needed where it is most difficult to guarantee–in countries gripped by intractable poverty, violence and devastating epidemics, where parents’ hopes and dreams for their children are seriously countered by the realities of life. With the global economy booming, the majority of children still live in poverty. While the world embraces the hope of peace, profit-driven conflicts and ethnic battles erupt, risking the lives and psyches of children. And as HIV/AIDS destroys families, children are left to fend for themselves.

Sustainable Development Goals:
