Predistribution

Well hi there, little one! Today we're going to explore the idea of predistribution.

You know how sometimes people talk about sharing toys or snacks so everyone is happy? And how sometimes people share different amounts, and that might not be fair?

Predistribution is like making sure everyone starts with an equal and fair amount of toys or snacks. This way, everyone has the same chance to play and be happy!

In the grown-up world, predistribution means taking steps to make sure everyone has equal opportunities to succeed, instead of just trying to fix problems after they happen. This might mean things like having good schools for everyone, making sure people can earn a living wage, or protecting the environment for future generations.

So instead of just trying to fix things after they go wrong, predistribution is about making sure everyone starts out with a fair playing field. By doing this, we can work together to make the world a better and more equal place for everyone!
