Trócaire’s Work3rd class to 6th class/Key Stage 2

Trócaire works with poor communities in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East. Can you point out these regions on the world map?

Trócaire teaches people different ways to grow crops so that they have enough food to eat. What could they do with the food if they grow too much to eat?

Trócaire helps people who are sick to go to the hospital and to get medicine. Trócaire also teaches people ways to look after themselves and to stay healthy. Why is this so important?

Trócaire supports people in poor countries after a natural disaster or emergency. Do you remember the earthquake in Haiti in 2010? Trócaire provided support for the people whose homes were destroyed..

Trócaire works in a state called Odisha in India. Ambika lives in a small village in Odisha. She is 9 years old.

Ambika lives with her mom, dad, brother and sister. This is their home. Trócaire supports Ambika’s family and neighbours.

Ambika helps her parents to grow food to eat. Ambika gets worried when it does not rain because there is no water for the crops. Trócaire has taught them ways to grow crops with less water.

Ambika loves school. In what ways is Ambika’s classroom the same, and in what ways is Ambika’s classrooom different to yours? Why do you think going to school is so important?
