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.

The event was held from 3rd – 7th September 2018 in Machakos County, Kenya; bringing together nearly 60 youth leaders from Ethiopia, Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, South Sudan, Tanzania and Uganda.

Radicalisation to violence and violent extremism are driven by multiple factors, hence the approach to prevent, counter and transform violence and violent extremism require a multiplicity of interventions – including the use of media.
