As paraphrased from the report, she might receive the care and investment she needs in order to become a secure and active citizen, or she might not. She could suffer from poor nutrition, lack of education and vulnerability to early pregnancy or HIV and AIDS. These could keep her trapped in poverty – a poverty she will hand on to her own children.
This is not inevitable – investing time, care and money in these young girls will bring about personal and economic change. This is what we believe and what we do here at Buen Pastor.
