Out With the Old, In With the New: A Take on COVID19 by Fred Nyabera, End Child Poverty Director
On the Road to "a New Humanity"
COVID-19 caught most of humanity by surprise; to many a negative one as it distorted (and continues to) the lives of many. As is with everything in life, impact can be either positive or negative. With COVID-19, we can agree that the magnitude of the negative effect has been felt by a large percentage of humanity, particularly to our children. The pandemic has made us more aware and alert of our surroundings. It has taught us that regardless of what we think we knew or what we thought we were doing in the past to achieve a sustainable world a lot more needs to be done. Old ways, old models and all projects will not suffice.

Acting together to achieve social and environmental justice for all
This year, with the theme; Acting together to achieve social and environmental justice for all; Arigatou International, through its End Child Poverty initiative, would like to interact with you and ask you to show us what actions you are taking to help address the forms of poverty in your community that are affecting children in particular.
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.
Arigatou International, through its initiatives; End Child Poverty and Ethics Education for children has launched the Children’s Solutions Lab. This solutions lab is a meaningful space and a participatory process for children from different backgrounds to come together to understand, dialogue and take action towards ending child poverty through solutions focused on education.

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.
