Who is World Bank?

The World Bank is like a big library that helps countries get better at growing and taking care of their people.

Imagine you're playing with your friends in a park, and one friend has more toys than the others. That friend can help the others by sharing some of their toys. The World Bank does something similar but for countries. It gives money to countries that need help building roads, schools, or hospitals, just like giving toys to friends who need them.

How it Works

The World Bank is made up of many countries working together. They put their money into a big piggy bank, and then they lend some of that money to other countries who need it. These loans are used for things like helping people find jobs, making clean water available, or even fighting diseases.

Sometimes, the World Bank also helps by teaching people in those countries how to use the money wisely, just like a teacher would help you solve math problems!
