Health
All children get sick. But in poor communities where children don’t have access to healthy food and medication, they are more likely to fall sick and stay sick.
When these children get sick, their parents don’t have many ways to help them get better. The solutions are simple, relatively inexpensive, and save children’s lives, but only if they are accessible.
A family who lives somewhere without a doctor or clinic, or doesn’t have the money (or health insurance) to visit one can’t afford simple life-saving things like de-worming drugs, vitamins and supplements. Without them, children die. Sick people who don’t receive care can’t work; they get poor or stay poor, and people who are poor are at higher risk of getting sick.
