Over population anywhere has negative effects. In some countries they abandon children, in others the parents die due to lack of food and children have to fend for themselves. This is where a lot of child slavery happens as the rich will sponsor a child only to keep as housekeepers and abandon them when older. Happens all the time. Best you can do is sponsor a child or send whatever you can contribute monthly as this not only helps the child, but the whole community. I find it unfair that you cannot send clothing, but by doing so, it will make others envyous. I crochet blankets, and have sent hundreds to the Ukraine and Soviet Union to help the street kids. Many abandoned by their parents who were orphans also. It is sad when one society is battling the battle of the bulge, too fat, and others go for days without food
