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.

everyday due to poverty

Happy new year to you!

We begin 2019 with this information rich paper by Martin Kalisa and Diana Skelton from ATD Fourth World, a member of the Global Coalition to End Child Poverty.
The paper gives examples of extreme poverty affecting children and recognises that to make a difference for the poorest children, policy-makers must first understand what differentiates their lives from those of children who are less poor and why they are particularly hard to reach.

What is the Relationship between Peace and Poverty?
"Extreme poverty is both a product of conflict and a cause. Poverty fuels frustration and hopelessness which are key instigators of conflict. When resources are limited competition for what is available is high,"
