Raise the voice of children.

Research shows it clearly that children Born and grown up in slum areas are prone to a variety of Dangers and obstructions which may lead them not to achieve their life potential. Some of these effects have a direct and indirect impact to the lives of these children and their families these include drug abuse, alcohol abuse, having risk sex intercourses .

Which who have exeperinced wars in thier countries experince physical and mental torture are forced into Rebel groups!Boys who handle weapon and haul rocks they can barely carry

There is limited physical education in most developing african countries and yet research shows there is a sharp increase in the number of obesity in children due to eating unhealthy diets and less physical inactivity.

Boys and Girls who lack access to information and parental guidance egangr in early sex behaviour leading them into early Marriages, cutting short their future dreams and putting them at a risk of getting sexually transmitted diseases like HIV are not even led into prostitution .

Children who are born in villages and those who are not privileged to have access to sports centers end up losing the unexploited talent due to lack of opportunity yet  star players are minting billions of Moines in the sports industry

#Wherever poverty and misery are present the children suffer most

#The importance of education can't be overestimated education remains an important tool in raising people out of poverty.
