"Children do not constitute anyone's property: they are neither the property of their parents nor even of society. They belong only to their own future freedom."

Previous Quote

The economic benefits of investing in children have been extensively documented. Investing fully in children today will ensure the well-being and productivity of future generations for decades to come. By contrast, the physical, emotional and intellectual impairment that poverty inflicts on children canmean a lifetime of suffering and want - and a legacy of poverty for the next generation.
