800 PLN per kid in Warsaw is frequently nothing. No hot water, no chance. That's what "equal start" looks like

W Warsaw children walk hungry, dirty and do not know how to usage the toilet. It's not a movie painting, but the everyday life of many families surviving right next to luxury restaurants and apartments.
Maria Organ on the weekend.gazeta.pl took a look at poverty, which is not seen in the center of Warsaw, although just turn into a side street. The president of the Powiślanska Social Foundation, Anna Gierałtowska, told her about children who cannot talk full sentences or eat cutlery and aid that can break the inherited ellipse of poverty.

Poor thing right under the flat building. Where the kids don't have a bathroom or dinner
Warsaw poorness doesn't look like slum movies. Sometimes it is adequate to get off Foksal Street or to turn on the Royal Bathrooms to see the houses without moving water, heating and bathrooms. In places like this, there are children who have nothing to eat, don't know fairy tales, and can't tie their shoes. Raised in utmost poverty, they learn life only in the community hall run by foundations. due to the fact that although Warsaw has the highest average earnings, it is here that social dissection is the largest.


Kids don't stand a chance of starting. And we say it's their fault.
Children learn not only to compose and read, but besides to wash their hands or to usage cutlery in the community hall run by the Powiśla Social Foundation. Many of them have not shown this before. They don't realize what the teacher says due to the fact that they don't talk at home. They are excluded culturally, educationally and emotionally. Their parents frequently experienced violence, neglect, and children’s homes. The poorness they live in is not the consequence of laziness, but of inherited trauma. These people can't be "mobilized" until they feel safe. The aid must start with a full fridge and a warm angle.
Not everyone will become a planet champion. But his kid can
The Foundation focuses on 2 aid courses: household assistants support parents, and children spend the afternoons in the dayrooms. There, educators who service as home caregivers aid in lessons, organize meals, teach life. This is not a task for a moment, but an investment in the future. Children who have passed through the foundation programs do not go to social assistance. They work, they work, they break the pattern. But inflation makes things worse. Children are increasingly saying they are hungry, and parents have nothing to spare. After the introduction of the benefit 500 plus (now 800 plus), it is frequently considered to be sufficient, but raising a kid is much higher costs. Support must be long-term, systemic and dignified, due to the fact that only then can those who have the least present have a chance tomorrow.
Do you think 800 plus is adequate financial support? We invitation you to participate in the probe and comment.
