End Child Poverty - End Child Poverty

Together we can end child
poverty worldwide.

End Child Poverty is a multi-faith, child-centered, global initiative of Arigatou International that mobilises faith-inspired resources to eradicate poverty affecting children.

We aim to create a world free of child poverty, by addressing both the root causes of poverty in the human heart and the structural causes of poverty.

The Impact of Poverty on Children

22,000 children die
everyday due to poverty

How to help

61 million primary school-age children were not enrolled in school

Take Action

1 billion children around
the world live in poverty

Stop poverty

An Interfaith Guide to End Child Poverty: Inspire. Act. Change.

Religious communities and organizations have unique resources. These include their spiritual values, social capital, and moral assets. By working together in partnership with like-minded organizations, we believe in mobilizing resources to reduce poverty at grassroots and global level.

Why do we have to involve Children in activities and decision making processes relating to #EndChildPoverty?
Because ...
1. Children are citizens and share the same rights to participate as others.
2. The UN Convention on the Rights of the Child obliges countries to consult with children
3. Consulting with children as users of public and private services indicates how these services can be more relevant.
4. Participation by children helps them to develop communication and decision- making skills.

Children are not just subjects of protection. They are agents of change, and can make great contributions to the realisation of the #SDGs.
That is why we commit to listen to them with empathy and respect, welcome their wisdom and gifts, and continue to work side-by-side to address violence against them as we commemorate this year's #DayoftheAfricanChild.
