About:
Youth Against Poverty is a organization focused on spreading awareness of child poverty. We hope that the younger generation will understand the need of eradicating child poverty globally and do their part in the fight to end it.
Many teens have preconceived thoughts of people in poverty and how charities use their money for them - "They are all drug addicts", "They had a choice", "The money doesn't go to them, "Who cares, it's not me". Our goal is to change those thoughts and ideas by educating them about what is really happening. They will understand exactly how children in poverty are living and what they - as young people can do about it.
"Lend your voice to make a difference" is the motto of our organization. We believe young people who are motivated will use their energies and resources to spread the word around. Each of our voices can be a powerful and useful weapon against child poverty. They will be able to challenge their peer group and others by speaking to them about child poverty and help them to join in the fight against it. Young people can also get involved with different activities to help in the fight.
