THE NATION’S FUTURE
Children are precious, but their young
lives are under threat in Myanmar. Out
of the country’s 50 million people,
about 19 million are under the age of
18. Every year 1.3 million children are
born, but 61,100 die before their first
birthday and 93,600 die before the age
of five. About one out of four children
under the age of five is malnourished.
Without the income from their
children’s jobs in shops, in construction
work and selling on street corners,
many poor families would not eat.
Ways need to be found to support
parents living in poverty so that their
children can attend school and improve
their prospects in life.
Prayer Points
- Pray for poor families to be able to
find work to feed their dependents.
- Pray for health care and schools to be
made available in country areas.
