But I think making young children work and earn money is not really empowerment. I hope these young children are also going to school and get the education they deserve. I hope they're also having enough time to just play and act like the children that they are instead of seriously focusing on livelihood.
Children should enjoy their childhood and have everything that every child should have, which is free education, at least 2 meals a day and protection from being used as cheap labor. Unfortunately, in many countries in Africa, but also in Asia, children are forced to work from an early age if they want to survive, because their parents send them to work instead of going to school. Projects that enable every child to have one hot meal at school encourage parents to send their children to school, which raises the level of educated children and gives them the opportunity to ensure a better life.
Bitcoin is not something that can change all that misery and poverty, but it can be part of the solution on the way to a better tomorrow.
the fact is that minors working to help their parents have become commonplace in developing countries and more often in countries experiencing ongoing crises. their parents don't want that either. Likewise, their children always want a normal life like children their age, which is to be able to play and go to school. But their economic situation and condition forced them to work just to fulfill their daily needs. In fact, I once asked a small child who worked at a relatively young age. I asked them if anyone forced them to work?
they answered innocently that they worked because they felt sorry for their parents who often did not eat. they the children know that their parents sometimes hold back hunger and pretend to have eaten and give food only to their children. so the children take the initiative themselves to work and help their parents.
but the fact is that there are also parents out there who have the heart to force their children to work.
But with the presence of bitcoin, I hope it can provide hope for convenience for these children in the future. and I've read there is a bitcoin community that builds schools for underprivileged children. and they also give free food. so that the children are excited to come to school. I would like to include a link to the news. but unfortunately I haven't found the news link again because it's old news. so a little hard to find. if i have found it maybe i will go back and link it. and I'm sure there are still many crypto and bitcoin communities out there who always donate some of their wealth to help people who can't afford it.
