End Child Poverty - Annual Reports

Building a Better World for All Children

Annual Report 2019 /20

Poverty is the worst form of Violence, and whilst poverty harms all human beings, it is more threatening to children. It denies them of their right to grow up free from deprivation and want, and develop healthily to their full potential. Arigatou International’s global Interfaith Initiative to End Child Poverty (End Child Poverty) is alive to the fact that eradicating child poverty is not easy, but it is possible. This has been our driving force since End Child Poverty’s inception in 2012. We aspire to achieve a world where every child lives free from poverty. This report provides a summary of our collective work in pursuit of our core commitment – to end child poverty worldwide. It presents our key results and the footprints we have made in the period covering April 2019 to March 2020. This year our main focus was on Child Participation, Partnership Development, and Strengthening as well as Peace Building.

A Future for the Child

Annual Report 2017 /18

This annual report covers our results and impact between April 2017 and March 2018, being the 6th year since End Child Poverty was established. The report includes an overview of our interventions to address child poverty, the results we have collectively realised and the impact we are aiming to achieve. Throughout the reporting year, our work has significantly paid attention to the commitments made during the GNRC 5th Forum in Panama, 2017. These commitments are well anchored on ending violence against children and child Poverty. For more information and to submit your change story, kindly Contact us.

Making Waves - Bringing Faith to Bear on Child Poverty

Annual Report 2016 /17

Right from the start, End Child Poverty was conceived as an initiative that sits in between other formations. We are a strategic operational initiative of Arigatou International with a specific charge to catalyse faith resources and actions to eradicate child poverty.

This report seeks to provide an account of the work that has been undertaken by End Child Poverty in pursuit of the commitment to end child poverty. We have conceived of this as an outlier account of our key results thus far, a measure of the footprint that we have established in the short time since our launch.

Making Haste...

Annual Report - 2013/2014

Extreme poverty is one of the most extensive forms of human degradation. Perhaps the greatest moral scandal in the world today is that over a billion people continue to live in squalor and indignity while there is enough resources for everyone. Interfaith Initiative to End Child Poverty is committed to the simple dictum that that no child, and no one indeed, should live in extreme poverty.
