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.

Violence Against Children and Poverty are interlinked and it is not possible to fight one without addressing the other. Not only does poverty exacerbate violence, but violence can perpetuate poverty. It is not possible to end child poverty if violence persists.

“A religious doctrine fulfills its purpose if and only if it translates into a source of life, harmony, well-being, reconciliation and peace. If the doctrines we teach are generating violence, or are contributing to creating disparate and unfair societies, then it is time to examine those doctrines, because they are only valid if they contribute to our personal and social life.” - Prof. Harold Segura, Regional Director of Church Relations and Christian Identity for Latin America and the Caribbean, World Vision International.

Did you know that : 30 years ago,a Global Call to Action of October 17 was launched unveiling a commemorative stone and gathering 100,000 people among them defenders of civil and human rights from every continent, to pay homage to the victims of hunger, ignorance and violence. They affirmed their conviction that human misery is not inevitable. They pledged their solidarity with all people who, throughout the world, strive to eradicate extreme poverty.

Following the GNRC 5th Forum, End Child Poverty works to promote efforts that address the nexus between ending child poverty and violence against children, as well as the Ten Commitments of the Panama Declaration on Ending Violence Against Children.

Our actions contribute to a modest extent and are closely aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), more so Goal 1 on ending poverty. Other SDGs that guide our work are goals 3, 4, 5, 8, 10 ,16 and 17; on health; education; gender quality; decent work; reduced inequalities; peace; and building partnerships and cooperation towards the realization of the SDGs, respectively.
