(Possible duplicate) Children In Crisis

Children in Crisis examines the devastating impact of global poverty and economic crisis on the world's most vulnerable populations. While major advances in child health have saved millions of lives in developing countries, fourteen million children still die annually from preventable causes, with rates of malnutrition rising once again after decades of progress. This urgent work explores how international debt, economic restructuring, and declining investment in health and education services are reversing hard-won gains and placing the heaviest burden on children in the poorest nations. Stanley Barnes presents essential facts about the rich-poor divide and its consequences, offering both analysis and practical ways that individuals and communities can contribute to reversing poverty's advance. By understanding these critical issues, readers can work toward ensuring all children have access to basic health, nutrition, and opportunity. Published by World Vision of Australia, this book serves as an important contribution to global conversations about development aid and responsibility toward the world's poor.
