The children vs children
Hello,
I'd like to ask you to explain to me the difference between these two sentences:
"The programme aims at helping the children living in poverty".
"The programme aims at helping children living in poverty".
If I put the article before "children" would this mean that I'm talking generally about all children living in poverty, whilst
if I remove the article, am I talking about some of the children living in poverty?
Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
Thank you
