Where WE  Are ....?????

Around the world, in rich or poor nations, poverty has always been present.In most nations today, inequality—the gap between the rich and the poor—is quite high and often widening.The causes are numerous, including a lack of individual responsibility, bad government policy, exploitation by people and businesses with power and influence, or some combination of these and other factors.Many feel that high levels of inequality will affect social cohesion and lead to problems such as increasing crime and violence.
Inequality is often a measure of relative poverty. Absolute poverty, however, is also a concern. World Bank figures for world poverty reveals a higher number of people live in poverty than previously thought.
For example, the new poverty line is defined as living on the equivalent of $1.25 a day. With that measure based on latest data available (2005), 1.4 billion people live on or below that line.
Furthermore, almost half the world—over three billion people—live on less than $2.50 a day and at least 80% of humanity lives on less than $10 a day:

Children  Have  The  Right  To  Be Children

The child labors endure miserable and difficult lives. Some of children have been seen in dangerous work where they earn little and struggle to feed themselves and their families too. The main reason behind child become labor is poverty. The unrelenting poverty forces the parents to push their young children in all forms of hazardous occupations.

REASONS   According to UNICEF, children are employed because they are easier to exploit. Poverty is generally the first answer for why children work at inappropriate jobs for their ages. But there are other reasons as well such as population explosion, cheap labour, and non-implementation of available laws, parents unwilling to send their children to schools (they would rather send them to work, so that the family income goes up) and abject poverty in rural areas. And what can one do when child labour is the only means of a family's survival?

SO, I request everybody to come forward and do something for innocent children who loose the childhood at such a young age. An age when they are suppose to study and play, they are working in hazardous factories , houses or tea stall etc. can you imagine yourself when you were a kid doing this or your kids doing this.

children are the building blocks of the future of the entire human race...we need to take good care of them, provide them good education and a healthy environment in which to grow up.
 
Please join hands & give Ideas. If we don’t do it today, tomorrow will be too late.

• Just Under 7.6 Million Children Dying Every Year   
• Some 92 Million Children Dying Between 2000 And 2010

THE SILENT KILLERS ARE POVERTY, HUNGER, EASILY PREVENTABLE DISEASES AND ILLNESSES, AND OTHER RELATED CAUSES. DESPITE THE SCALE OF THIS DAILY/ONGOING CATASTROPHE, IT RARELY MANAGES TO ACHIEVE, MUCH LESS SUSTAIN, PRIME-TIME, HEADLINE COVERAGE.
