THE CHILDREN WE DON'T SEE

 

Behind the statistics about poverty are real children.

Children who want to learn.

Children who dream about becoming teachers, doctors, engineers, artists, entrepreneurs or simply having a safe and secure future.

But circumstances can make childhood very different.

A lack of food can affect concentration.

A lack of school supplies can make learning harder.

Unsafe living conditions can create fear where there should be security.

And sometimes, children simply need someone to believe in them.

Every child deserves the opportunity to learn, grow and dream.

A child's circumstances should not determine the size of their future.

❤️ Let's keep looking beyond the statistics and seeing the child.

Lindiwe - girls education

 

Someone in Johannesburg sent Lindiwe a book about air traffic control. She's read it twice and has started directing the breakfast queue.

 She stands by the tap with a ruler. "Hold position." "Cleared for porridge." The little ones play along, mostly. Mama Dikeledi says the queue has never moved faster and she isn't going to argue with it. Lindiwe has a new question for us now: do air traffic controllers need Maths? (Yes.) She's asked Thabo to "check her" on fractions once his exams are done.

 Lindiwe wants to know: what job did you dream about when you were 11? Tell us below and we'll read your answers to her.

POVERTY IS MORE THAN AN EMPTY PLATE

 

When we think about poverty, we often think about hunger.

But poverty can also mean a child going to school without a uniform.

It can mean a parent choosing between food and transport.

It can mean an elderly person living alone with nobody checking whether they have eaten.

It can mean a family living in a place where the basics many of us take for granted are simply unavailable.

Poverty isn't just about what people don't have.

It is about opportunities they may never get.

At CLR Foundation, we believe that small acts of support can help restore something incredibly important — hope.

❤️ Sometimes a food parcel matters.
📚 Sometimes a schoolbook matters.
👕 Sometimes a uniform matters.
🤝 Sometimes simply knowing that somebody cares matters.

Never underestimate what a small act of kindness can mean to someone else.
