Poverty doesn’t just steal food or money—it steals childhood. It forces little hands to carry bricks instead of books. It turns classrooms into distant dreams and hospitals into unaffordable luxuries. It replaces toys with torn slippers and bedtime stories with hunger pangs. Poverty doesn’t whisper. It screams—through empty stomachs, untreated fevers, and silent tears. It doesn’t just hurt. It kills—slowly, invisibly, and every single day. At Basta Foundation, we refuse to look away. We fight poverty by bringing education to the streets, meals to the hungry, and medical care to the forgotten. We uplift families with livelihood programs, legal support, and dignity—because every child deserves more than just survival. 💔 Poverty is not a lack of money. It’s a lack of choices. We’re here to change that.
