A US girl s dream to end poverty (贫困) started with a walk down a street in downtown Fresno in California, US.

Kaitlin Riffel was visiting her father at work – the Fresno Rescue Mission, a shelter for the homeless and those in need.

“I never realized there were people in the world who didn’t have a home or food before,” recalled (回忆) Kaitlin, who is now 16. “I knew there was something I had to do about that.”

At age 8, she started raising money to build a playground at Rescue the Children, a facility (机构) in Fresno for women and children in need.

It took me two years, but my sisters and I raised $365 (2,520 yuan), Kaitlin said. We started small. We knew we wanted to do something to make a difference.” The amount jumped to $80,000 the following year after the girls teamed up with friends, and the playground was built in 2013. It inspired Kaitlin to found Kids on a Mission, a kid-powered nonprofit organization that has helped hundreds of people living in poverty in the US and abroad.

The work overseas started when Kaitlin, then 13, visited El Salvador in Central America. There, she saw people starving (挨饿) and families living in shelters made of cardboard (纸板).

“The rooms were smaller than my bedroom, but there would be eight people living in [each one],” Kaitlin recalled. “We also got to s ee the rivers that these people were drinking out of, and [they contained] dirty water.”
