Despite the notable developments made in past decades,  according to research, 736 million people still live in extreme poverty. Most disturbingly, children are excessively affected: while they make up around a third of the global population, they comprise half of those fighting to live on less than $2 a day. Not only are children more likely to live in poverty, but they also face lifetime consequences like poor health & nutrition, and missed or low-quality education.

The InnerCity Mission as a child-centered organization has always come up with various initiatives to eradicate child poverty over the years and this October, we bring you the #EndChildPovertyNow campaign, an initiative that will be running throughout the month in commemoration of the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty.

The #EndChildPovertyNow Campaign allows everyone to choose any act of kindness to carry out that would make a difference in the lives of the indigent and turn, inspire more people to take action in building a better world for all.

Below are different types of Acts you can choose from; however, the list is endless;

·               Donate seedlings to a farmer

·               Donate Notebooks to a child

·               Set up a library for needy children

·               Renovate a school building

·               Give out textbooks to needy children

·               Feed A needy child

·               Support a Needy family with food

Our goal is to show the world that ending poverty is possible and we won’t stop until every child, man and woman can enjoy a life free from poverty which in turn, sums up our mission at the InnerCity Mission. Take Action NOW!  https://theinnercitymission.ngo/endchildpovertynow/
