Children around the world suffer due to the lack of political
will and incorrect choices made by adults. Many children do
not have access to adequate food, shelter, healthcare or basic
education. They face the most difficult economic conditions,
and their survival is a daily challenge. Limited access to education
is driven by economic, social and cultural factors.
This is an unfortunate reality in Ghana, West Africa where many
youth live in abject poverty. As a consequence, parents often
make tough decisions - one of which is the decision to remove
a child from school. In many cases, children are simply NEVER
enrolled in school. Needlessly, youth are committed to a life
time of suffering, exploitation and poor health. Limited educational
opportunities perpetuates an already bleak outlook for youth
around the world.
The educational level achieved by parents is a key determining
factor in the
degree to which a young person will have access to education.
Cycles of illiteracy are created in families, that perpetuates
from generation
to generation. |
Repeating the Cycle
of Illiteracy Fuels the Cycle of Poverty.
The failure to educate a child today, is the failure to secure
the future |
