Often, it takes times of global hardship for us to really remember that there are people struggling to survive in the world. For example, with the outbreak of COVID-19, it’s sometimes scary to imagine what life must be like for those without the infrastructure, medical supplies or even basic necessities to get through this unprecedented time safely.
But this is a blog which focuses on positivity and silver linings, which is why, rather than focusing on the negatives, we’re going to talk about what we can do to help others and bring a little more hope into the world. Here are some of the most vulnerable members of our society and a few ideas on what you can do to help them, which should, in turn, help you lead a happier life of your own.

There’s no doubt that children are often defenceless and rely on parents or guardians to protect them and fight for them. However, for millions of children, there simply are no parents or guardians to support them. Some have been abandoned, others have had conflict disrupt their lives and have lost their parents through war or even natural disasters. Regardless, many of these young children rely on aid, the goodwill of others and even theft to survive.
Additionally, orphaned children can be more susceptible to exploitation and the psychological trauma that comes with it. A truly horrible thought. We can help the orphans in need by supporting organisations that run, build or manage orphanages around the globe. One of the most important points to remember about orphans is that they aren’t found in just one place
