I finally had someone reach me from UNICEF. Her name is Mariavittoria, and she is the Education Officer for 24 countries in the WCARO region. She has sent me a link with some interesting reports and facts about the children living in poverty over there:

The poverty line for families is $1 a day, and most families do not even make this much. I can't imagine living with only that much, even in an underdeveloped country. I have emailed her back and asked her a few more questions, this time along the lines of equity in the early education field. I am excited that she has emailed me back, and I look forward to hearing from her again.
