The Problem
The lack of basic needs are affecting students and their families all over the world!
258 million children and youth are out of school around the world, according to UNESCO data released in 2018.
Children do not attend school for many reasons — but they all stem from poverty. Children whose basic needs are not cared for are not socially, emotionally, or educationally capable of retaining educators' teaching nor are they academically able to excel.
Maslow Hierarchy of Needs
Maslow's theory states that humans are motivated to fulfill their needs in a hierarchical order. The order begins with the most basic needs before moving on to more advanced needs. With out the foundation of basic needs being met its impossible for someone to be motivated to climb up the hierarchy to accomplish greater things.
