Childrens Charities

Child As well as the most basic need for food, it's the interlinking factors of love and security, increased life expectancy, improved health, nutrition, and education that enable the next generations to break the intergenerational poverty cycle, and ensure themselves a better future. In this category, Prospero highlights outstanding organisations that address a broad range of issues affecting children both in the developing world and closer to home.
