Poverty is a reality for many individuals and families. But unless you've experienced poverty, it's difficult to truly understand. Poverty Simulation bridges the gap between misconception to understanding. This interactive immersion experience sensitizes community participants to the realities of poverty and the daily challenges faced.
PROMOTE POVERTY AWARENESS: During the simulation, role-play a month in poverty and experience low-income families' lives.
INCREASE UNDERSTANDING: After the simulation, you will unpack what you've learned and brainstorm community change.
INSPIRE LOCAL CHANGE: Together, you can be a voice to end poverty in your community.
TRANSFORM PERSPECTIVES: The goal of Poverty Simulation is to shift the paradigm of poverty from a personal failure to a structural failure of society.
