Helping Poor Children: Naaz Commercial Institute’s Comprehensive Support

Helping poor children requires addressing their immediate needs while building pathways to long-term prosperity. At Naaz Commercial Institute, we provide holistic support to impoverished children in rural Bihar, combining education, health, nutrition, and economic empowerment to break the cycle of poverty.

Understanding Poverty’s Impact on Children

Poverty affects every aspect of a child’s life, from physical health to educational opportunities and emotional well-being. In rural Bihar, children from poor families often lack access to basic services, face discrimination, and have limited pathways to break free from cycles of disadvantage.

Consequences of Child Poverty

• Health Issues: Malnutrition, disease susceptibility, stunted growth
• Educational Barriers: Lack of school supplies, transportation, and support
• Emotional Stress: Anxiety, low self-esteem, behavioral challenges
• Future Limitations: Reduced employment opportunities and economic mobility
