The advert producers would use children in their adverts stereotypical connotations of children are weakness and innocence. The effect on the consumer is that the consumer is more likely to donate money to children rather than adults as adults are meant to carry their own weight and be more independent.

 The target audience would feel pity on the child and be more likely to donate. This is like a physiological affect on the consumer to donate more.A picture of a helpless child is more likely to reach out to the generosity of the consumer and make them selves feel more proud of the cause they've helped and more likely to do it again, which would lead to reoccurring donations.

 Another possible effect is that putting a picture of a child would make the audience believe that the boy comes from a less developed society in the world which lacks basic necessity's and would believe that the money is going for a good cause to help and fund the country so they could clean water and toiletries as the title water aid suggests.
