The right clothes can protect a child from illness and equip them to play and be active. Here are five key clothing items that can protect a child&rsquo;s health.<\/p>\n<h2>1. A change of clothes<\/h2>\n<p>We take it for granted that kids in the U.S. have clean clothes to wear while doing laundry, but for many children around the world, this is not a given. Without a spare outfit, it&rsquo;s more complicated for children to wash their clothes. And as the clothes get dirtier and more ragged, children are more likely to develop skin infections. A change of clothes gives kids a chance to wash and maintain better hygiene.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60121\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60121\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-60121 lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"Lack of clothes cause illness\" width=\"1280\" height=\"857\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D485-0284-05.jpg_191499-1280x857.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D485-0284-05.jpg_191499-640x429.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D485-0284-05.jpg_191499-200x134.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D485-0284-05.jpg_191499-358x240.jpg 358w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D485-0284-05.jpg_191499-845x566.jpg 845w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D485-0284-05.jpg_191499-1135x760.jpg 1135w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D485-0284-05.jpg_191499-850x569.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D485-0284-05.jpg_191499-1140x763.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D485-0284-05.jpg_191499-31x21.jpg 31w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D485-0284-05.jpg_191499.jpg 1613w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D485-0284-05.jpg_191499-1280x857.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60121\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Skin infections, like ringworm pictured on a child&rsquo;s head in Zambia, spread easily when children have no clean clothes and little opportunity to wash.

Worms enter children&rsquo;s bare feet and can make their way to a child&rsquo;s intestines. Communities without appropriate hygiene, sanitation, and clean water are especially at risk because worms spread in feces and dirty water is a host to parasites. Wearing shoes can protect children&rsquo;s feet from these infections and from thorns and other injuries. In cold climates, boots are essential to keep little toes dry and protected from frostbite.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60123\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60123\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-60123 size-medium lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/c1801110-016.JPG_1004671-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/c1801110-016.JPG_1004671-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/c1801110-016.JPG_1004671-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/c1801110-016.JPG_1004671-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/c1801110-016.JPG_1004671-850x567.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/c1801110-016.JPG_1004671-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/c1801110-016.JPG_1004671-31x21.jpg 31w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/c1801110-016.JPG_1004671.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/c1801110-016.JPG_1004671-1280x853.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60123\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In 8-year-old Belyse&rsquo;s community in Burundi, 6 out of 10 children suffer from jiggers, a small flea that burrows into skin by the toenails and is extremely itchy and painful.&nbsp; (&copy;2018 World Vision\/photo by Javan Niyakire)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60151\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60151\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-60151 size-medium lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1009990-D052-0201-17-1280x853.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1009990-D052-0201-17-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1009990-D052-0201-17-200x133.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1009990-D052-0201-17-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1009990-D052-0201-17-850x567.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1009990-D052-0201-17-1140x760.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1009990-D052-0201-17-31x21.jpg 31w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1009990-D052-0201-17.jpg 1620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/1009990-D052-0201-17-1280x853.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60151\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Belyse (second from left) and other kids in her community received shoes through World Vision. &ldquo;My feet will be protected from thorns, worms, and jiggers,&rdquo; she says joyfully.

Warm coat<\/h2>\n<p>Going outside without a coat in cold weather is not enough to catch a cold &mdash; you do have to come in contact with a virus. But <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5035958\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">some studies<\/a> have found that cold viruses can replicate faster in cold temperatures. Without coats and warm clothing, children can be more vulnerable to illness. But one of the real costs of the lack of coats in cold weather is that children are stuck indoors. They miss school. They miss out on playtime. They miss out on vital development. A warm coat can open up opportunities for healthy growth and development.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_60126\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-60126\" style=\"width: 1280px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-60126 lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/email\/met3\/spacer.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1280\" height=\"701\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D012-0331-01-1280x701.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D012-0331-01-640x350.jpg 640w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D012-0331-01-200x110.jpg 200w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D012-0331-01-360x197.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D012-0331-01-850x466.jpg 850w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D012-0331-01-1140x624.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D012-0331-01-31x17.jpg 31w, https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D012-0331-01.jpg 1700w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" data-src=\"https:\/\/wvusstatic.com\/www\/uploads\/2019\/11\/D012-0331-01-1280x701.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-60126\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In Albania, 5-year-old Arif had to miss kindergarten in cold weather because he had no warm clothes.
