Goal 3: Children will realize their greatest potential
Many areas of life contribute to helping children achieve their greatest potential. The basic needs of food, clothing, and shelter must be met. Children must also grow up in safe, stable, and supportive communities free from abuse, maltreatment, and violent crime. Beyond these factors, however, children must also have good primary and secondary education in order to realize their greatest potential.
