00:12The new report warns more children are at risk of falling into poverty as global funding cuts, conflicts and climate threatens access to services crucial for health and well-being.
00:24The report further revealed that early labor is now rampant among several communities.
00:30What makes me happiest each day is getting cloths to sew, sewing them and seeing my family at home smiling.
00:42Before my day ends, I always look forward to coming home early to help my mother with household chores.
00:48The hardest part of my day is when my sewing machine breaks and I cannot sew.
00:54Those days are difficult because I'm left with nothing to do.
00:57I learn about my rights every day through having the rights to live and the good parenting of my mother and the support of my community.
01:06I believe I also have the right to good clothes, good food and also access to education.
01:13The report also revealed that more than one in five children in low and middle income countries or 417 million are severely deprived in at least two vital areas critical for their health, development and well-being.

01:36When my kids want to study, if my phone is not charged enough or their phone is not charged enough, I have to buy candles.
01:44Sometimes when they study, they forget.
01:46I have to go wake up at night and go and switch off the candles because sometimes they might burn the house.
01:51Then we're ending up not having a house.
