Welcome!
How many children live in poverty?
Welcome to The Child Well-being Initiative site. We hope that you will leave here encouraged to help end the shame of child poverty wherever you are.
We are based in Alberta, one of the richest provinces in Canada, yet around 70,000 children live in poverty here.
We are women in The United Church of Canada, a liberal Protestant denomination. We believe that child poverty can and must be eliminated. If you agree, we’d love to hear from you. How can we work together? What successes can you share with us?
On this website, you’ll learn about some of the ways we are trying to encourage other church people, other faith and spiritual traditions, NGOs and the general public to make ending child poverty a priority. You’ll also see that we are involving all ages. We have a colouring page for little ones and an annual writing and art competition for students grades 4 to 12 to express their thoughts about child poverty. You’ll find some winning entries under Young Voices.
Pour a cup of tea and stay a while. Thank you for your visit, and for your commitment to honour children.
