For children born into poverty, early childhood interventions hold the promise of overcoming social disadvantages and breaking the cycle of poverty between generations.  Watch President Kim and a panel of experts explore ways for the World Bank to more fully engage to meet the needs of young children and their families.  As we work to meet the Sustainable Development Goals related to child well-being and gender equality, now is the moment to find ways we can help these children move beyond surviving to thriving.
