In many rural areas of the country there are no facilities available to the people, therefore the people to have to walk miles in order to find a good doctor, with no transportation. Therefore, there is a lack of medical and educational help provided. Therefore many children die from small things just as food poisoning, dehydration, and even the common cold. Therefore due to this there is also a low mortality rate. Also the people living there are not very wealthy and rely on most of the times the profit of the crops they sell or odd jobs. Therefore, their income is unpredictable and low. These families therefore cannot afford health care or schooling for their children. In many cases when these families can no longer be supported just by the parents, the children have to work in order to survive. There are also many cases where these children are kidnapped, because there is no protection for these children, and made to work. They are often times given drugs to prevent them from feeling the cold, heat and even hunger.
Then there is the law system. These children in most cases are put into jails where there are also adults. They are barely given any food and are mistreated by the guards. These children then are humiliated sometimes on television. Therefore their families cut ties with them in most cases. These children are also sometimes wrongfully convicted because they are deceived and duped into taking the blame. These children are therefore being kept in jails only because the law system is so corrupt and these judges can be bribed. That is how a lot of wrongful things work in places all over the world, if you have the money you are basically able to do anything. My uncle use to tell me stories about one of their friends who was really bad in school and how his parents bribed the teacher and the school in order to get him to passed. This type of incidents are still prevalent today. However there is one trying to stop them and those kids who actually study hard and do well are given less significance. Although these are types of kids that have the future of the country in their hands.
These Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs) just create facilities and leave, they do not provide necessities in order to keep the system working. NGOs and the government should work better together in order to solve this problem. They however are only there for short period of time. Therefore the government should try to take action and help their own people. When I went to Pakistan there were so many buildings that were just sitting there. However maybe a few miles away groups of children were being taught by village women in small huts and broken down places. This was only due to the fact that these children are too poor to afford tuition, therefore they cannot even use the building. If these facilities are built then they should be allowed to be used by the people and not just be sitting there, that is extremely unfair to the children. Then there is also the fact that these NGOs are being given wrongful accusation. There are people who create their own little huts and fraud people out of their money.
The children not only in Pakistan but all around the world are suffering. Therefore the government needs to take measures in order to help these children and help them build new futures for themselves, their families, and their communities.
