About Family Focus
Family Focus International Limited is a non-profit, Human Capital Investment and Research company concerned with the development of outcomes based, proactive services and delivery methods for ending poverty in the lives of children and their families living in Industrialized, or first-world, nations.
Family Focus does not accept that for any reason any child living in an industrialized country should be growing up in poverty. We acknowledge that poverty is a major issue in most third-world nations but such an issue cannot be ethically addressed by first-world countries while their own children suffer the disadvantage of poverty.
Sponsor a child in your own country first is the basis upon which Family Focus develops the programs for positive change that can be applied by Government agencies and Non-Government Organizations in indutrialized nations. These programs follow the principle of providing children and their families living in poverty with a hand-up, and not a hand-out, as a means of developing the skills, motivations, and goals by which the barriers of poverty can be overcome and self sufficiency achieved.
Unless first-world countries address the issue of child poverty within their own borders now, the ability to create positive change in the lives of those in third-world countries will never be achieved in the future.
Poverty is not just a third-world issue!
Child poverty is not just something that happens in third-world nations. In some of the most advanced and prosperous nations on earth millions of children spend every day without enough to eat, clothes to wear, safe places to live, and little hope for a better future.
In nations such as, the United States of America over 13,000,000 children live in serious poverty. In the richest nation on earth 1 in every 4 people in a Soup Kitchen line is an American child!
In a nation such as the United Kingdom nearly 4,000,000 children live in serious poverty - that's nearly 1 out of every 3 children living in the nation!
Even a young industrialized nation such as Australia fares poorly when it comes to child poverty with more than 1,200,000 children living a life of disadvantage because of poverty.
These are not poorly governed, corrupt, over populated third-world countries. These are technologically advanced, well governed, economically vibrant countries and yet, an ever increasing number of their children are falling into a life of poverty. Children living in industrialized nations are already dying as a result of poverty. Unless you say NO to poverty now the future for tens of millions of children is bleak.
