How Poverty Affects Children’s Health | One Girl’s Story

Poverty affects all aspects of children’s health. Physically, poverty prevents children’s bodies from developing and exposes them to serious pain and disease. Emotionally, it causes overwhelming fear and anxiety. And spiritually, it steals away the hope of ever breaking free.
While the effects of poverty on health are many, so are the ways we can fight back. Here, we share the facts of poverty’s impact and what we can do to stop it. Plus, you’ll see the power of stepping in for the vulnerable through the eyes of Anielka, a brave girl who knows the pain of poverty all too well.

Thank you for sharing her beautiful story. I received a letter last week from a young lady I sponsor in Brazil. She shared a personal story which I will keep private, but she wrote this, "I started therapy through the project and found a reason to live. I was welcomed into the project and found peace. I imagine that if the project were to close, what would become of me? Because I am only who I am today because of the project. Please pray for me and my family." I pray this blesses those who read this and work at Compassion, or those who sponsor children. Your labor and efforts for the Lord are never in vain.
