why we need your support
one in five children in British Columbia are living in poverty
When you add to that the astronomical rents in Greater Vancouver, the impact on children is severely compounded. Families are often paying 50-80% of their income on shelter, meaning there is far less money left for essentials such as heating and nutritious food.
All children should have the same opportunities to grow up healthy and achieve their full potential without extra challenges created by experiencing poverty.
