Child in Poverty in SA

More than a third of children in South Africa have experienced some form of maltreatment including sexual, physical and emotional abuse, according to a latest survey.

The South African Child Gauge 2017 also indicated over half of children could not read fluently and with comprehension at the end of Grade 4.

The number of children still living below the poverty line remains high at 5.5 million

 3.4 million children who lived in overcrowded housing conditions, and a further six million who had no access to clean drinking water.
