In a year, the number of children in the UK living in poverty has risen by 200,000.
The world has more than enough food to feed everyone in the world, and more than enough resources to provide clothing, shelter, education and healthcare to everyone. For that reason, any social or economic system that denies children the right to food, clothes, shelter, education, and healthcare is seriously flawed.
We may not have the ability to fix those fundamental flaws in our society that have made some weasels rich at the expense of the rest. However, we can counter this social corruption by doing whatever we can to ensure that all children get a great education. With a great education, these children can grow into capable adults who can not only escape the poverty trap, but also can fix the fundamental flaws in our society.
