Kaitlin Riffle's dream of ending poverty (贫困) started when she was visiting her father, who worked for the
homeless.
"I never realized there were people in
the world who didn't have a house or food before," said Kaitlin, who is
now seventeen. "I knew there was something I had to do about that.
At age eight, she started raising money to build
a playground. "It took me two years," Kaitlin said. "We started
small. We wanted to do something to make a difference. "
In 2014, when Kaitlin was thirteen, she
visited Central America, and saw people going hungry and families living in
houses made of cardboard. That year, she set up Kids on a Mission, which has
helped hundreds of people there.
"The rooms were smaller than my
bedroom, but there would be eight people living in each one," Kaitlin
said. "We also got to see the dirty rivers that those people were drinking
out of."
Providing clean drinking water, food and clothes
for people living in poverty is now an important task for Kids on a Mission. "This
young lady is changing the hearts of people, and also changing the world,""
said the headmaster of Kaitlin's school.
