From one generation to the next, urban poverty persists. Resources are available for families, communities, and children to rise above poverty. These are distributed by organisations whose goal is to end poverty worldwide. Expanding access to the aforementioned necessities is crucial for helping children, families, and entire communities escape poverty, even though doing so will not be an easy task.
The solutions that surround the fight against urban poverty include:
1. Children must get a quality education.
Education enables children to realise their full potential by providing them with the knowledge and skills necessary for uplifting communities living in poverty. Plan International assists children in gaining access to quality education by training teachers, constructing new schools, and removing obstacles that prevent many children, particularly girls, from attending and remaining in school.
2. Health care accessibility.
When fighting social inequality in Singapore, an essential tool is access to health care. Plan International helps communities build health clinics, train health care workers, and invest in equipment and medicine so that children may grow up healthy and robust.
3. Water and sanitisation.
Water and sanitation are also crucial to a child's survival. Social groups today assist communities in building school latrines and community water stations. In addition, organisations aid the cause to ensure ongoing management and maintenance of water points.
4. Financial safety.
Economic security means vulnerable groups in the community must possess the skills and fortitude to withstand difficult economic conditions and increase their incomes. Plan International strives to eradicate poverty by assisting global communities in achieving the financial stability they require to flourish.
5. Child participation.
Participation of children entails placing them at the centre of all activities. Plan International teaches children about their rights and encourages them to engage in community service. Child participation encourages children to participate in citizenship, express their opinions, and make decisions that will shape their future and impact the community that will end educational inequality among children.
