According to the United Nations, an estimated 60 million primary school-aged children are presently not in school and it’s all because of poverty. Many children are now seen on the streets hawking or perhaps working to support their families instead of going to school.

Some children are even already groomed to take care of their younger siblings while their parents wait for earning made from their daily activities.
