Red Nose Day: What is Comic Relief USA and where does the money go?
The charity has raised over $100m in the last three years
In the US, 15 million children - or 21 per cent of all the children in the country - suffer from childhood poverty.
Child poverty doesn’t just mean a lack of resources or money. It also means hunger, an inability to receive education or healthcare, and numerous other problems.
This statistic and the detrimental effects that growing up below the poverty level can have on children prompted the non-profit organisation Comic Relief Inc to start Red Nose Day.
I have the bad feeling about this charity.
