Child Sponsor Mauritius
Despite being described as an island paradise, for many living in Mauritius life is one of poverty, often going to bed hungry without having basic needs met particularly in the neglected rural regions of Mauritius and on the island of Rodrigues.
Even those in more urban areas have seen levels of poverty increase following the recent world financial crisis as, in addition to tourism, the economy mainly depends on exports of textiles to Europe and the United States.
UNICEF report "Pockets of poverty remain, and child abuse and violence against women, sexual exploitation, increasing drug and alcohol dependency among young people and the exclusion of children with disabilities all are cause of concern."
