Childhood Poverty

---

Anyone living in poverty will face greater obstacles in life, but children are particularly vulnerable. They may experience worse education, poor food for a growing mind and body, and parents who do not have the mental bandwidth or energy to create a meaningful and rich childhood.

Living in poverty can cause major trauma. How is this impact even greater for those who grow up knowing nothing else?

Despite the fight that remains, many programs exist today that aim to end childhood poverty.
