Wsparcie społeczne dziecka w sytuacji ubóstwa – przykład rwandyjski

The phenomenon of poverty occupies an important place in the discourse on the problem of exclusion and social marginalisation. The problem of children in a poverty situation is most often analysed through the prism of family poverty. Meanwhile, it is worth noting that poverty in childhood has a different dimension than in adulthood, because it disturbs the proper development of the child. Children’s experience of poverty affects their further life, often with irreversible consequences. Numerous institutions and individuals offer their help and support to improve the lives of children in Africa. This activity takes the form of either immediate or long-term help. One of those institutions that actively participate in solving the problem of poverty in Africa is the Catholic Church. Its involvement in helping children in a poverty situation is an important dimension of social support.
