  • Our social innovation is to create a campaign by reaching out and providing the necessary resources (housing, food, education) that children need to get up and start assisting the children who are in need of assistance.

    • Provide local programs & events dedicated to these needs.

    • Investing in affordable child care and early education will help more struggling parents to obtain the child care they need in order to work and get support.

    • Establishing food banks dedicated to children only (children: food, clothing, school supplies, toys, and etc. 

    b) What practical changes are you going to implement? And how?

    • To spread awareness of what’s going on with children experiencing poverty that it is still an issue in society.

    • As a community, we can create programs or events where the profit goes all for child poverty donations. Like car wash, firefighter hosting chili-fest, and school bake sales.

    • We need to enlighten people about child poverty and how they can overcome it when they donate to some charity organization.

    c) What means or tools will you use to address the problem at its source?

    • Social media is an effective tool to reach out to others as we spend most time on our devices. By doing this, this is 

    • Protest regards the matter of child poverty and how it is still a continuing issue in today’s society.

    • Continue to provide funding by fundraising for charities for the funds to process children who live in poverty and do not have a start-up on their journey.

  • Child Poverty is a major social issue. It is essentially defined as the situation of children that are born in poor families that lack resources such as food, education, accommodation for disabilities which causes deprivation, lack of communication, emotional and cognitive development, and health issues. As a result, they are at a greater risk of poor academic achievement, school dropout, abuse, and neglect.

  • Canada’s child benefit (CCB) is a tax-free payment given to help families with the cost of raising children until the age of 18. (we believe this is a short term solution to a long term problem as it can be quite ineffective as payments are subject to change or stop depending on the family’s situation, reports and status. 

    • For instance, “in 2016, the Ontario Government promised to ensure families kept all of their Canada Child Benefits and promised to eliminate cuts to child support payments as of 2017”. Especially during COVID-19, according to this article, it states “the economic fallout of the COVID-19 pandemic could push up to 86 million more children into household poverty by the end of 2020, an increase of 15 percent, according to a new analysis released today by Save the Children and UNICEF”. At this time, children are in desperate need of assistance from us to support them and raise money to help them rise and give them proper education.

  • Children are born into impoverished homes and communities (it’s inevitable they don't have a choice in the matter about whether their guardian is unemployed or unable to work to provide)

    • Lack of funding for education or access to resources 

    • Discrimination is one of the hard-hitting issues that occur based on their social location (gender, class, religion, ethnicity).

    • Lack of social services for parents forced to rely on themselves for any economic support.  

    • The socio-economic class that the child was born or raised in.
