Why I Care About Ending Poverty

>Why I Care About Ending Poverty

It all started when I was in Nigeria before I came to the UK. It was the end of Church Service and my Dad said we could go to Shoprite, near the roundabout was a crowd of people begging for food .I saw young children and families malnourished, sick and begging for money . This made me so sad and when I came to the UK in January 2023, I saw people begging for food too. Then, when I heard about Coder Series a year later and the websites and apps that children around my age were making I was very suprised and I knew that is what I was going to do after successfully passing the 11 plus. I was ready to code for a cause!

"I realized that even small actions can make a big difference in someone's life."

When I learned about the UN's Global Goal to end poverty I had this image of young starving children eating to their fullest, adults having enough money to turn thier life around and families having enough for a new beginning in thier life and I knew I wanted to make this a reality.

You don't have to wait until your older to do something nice.You never know, a small gesture like a smile, hug or some money to someone who you think is struggling can change a lot! 🌟
