The Poverty - Disability Cycle There are 500 million people living in the double disadvantage of poverty and disability in our world. 200 million of these are children. Poverty and disability are inextricably linked. If you have an already poor family who has a disabled family member, they will inevitably be the poorest family in their village. They are the poorest of the poor. And the poorest of the poor are at heightened risk of developing more disability. They can't afford medical care or education or clean water. It's a vicious cycle that drags the whole family into deeper poverty and suffering. How you are helping We can break the cycle of poverty and disability by making sure children with disabilities get the access they need to medical care and education... that their parents can access appropriate, ofteh home-based employment opportunities. This is what your cbm Child Sponsorship does. It makes the world a better place for kids like Fred and Vincent. Sponsors like you are giving children the ongoing care and support that they need to live a longer, fuller life.  Return to Child Sponsorship homepage |
