Childrens Charities
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.
