Attending school is not a priority for most underprivileged children growing up in developing countries. Many parents cannot afford basic food supplies to feed their families, therefore children spend their days looking for food on the streets or working rather than attending school and developing an education. Many schools are formed in the slums or by local good people to try and get these children into some sort of basic education, but they receive little help and funding so they struggle to provide the children with food and educational materials.
