All Out to End Child Poverty – Looking back, Forging ahead
Arigatou International - End Child Poverty is carrying out its 10th anniversary campaign themed All Out to End Child Poverty – Looking back, Forging ahead; dubbed ECP@10.
ECP@10 provides an opportunity for all of us to celebrate global progress made towards overcoming child poverty over the last 10 years; share our collective journey and stories; appreciate End Child Poverty champions and welcome others to join us in this work; and advance knowledge relevant to ending child poverty. The Campaign was launched on June 16th, 2022 and will continue to the end of October 2022. Every ECP@10 Campaign action, big or small, counts.
We invite you to join End Child Poverty in this campaign by taking action to address child poverty, with the help of the campaign toolkit and key action areas we identified as critical in alleviating child poverty. With the toolkit and some of the ‘Take Action’ areas we identified, we invite you to take ‘Pledge’ to eradicate child poverty. You can also be part of the campaign by promoting visibility about it online – on your social media platforms, using the campaign logos on your social media profiles and email signatures, and joining the campaign conversation through #EndChildPovertyat10 on Twitter, Instagram and Facebook.
