what poverty taught me
More than a statistic...
Every number and every piece of data represents a person, a family, and/or a community. We're changing how we see and discuss poverty through our What Poverty Taught Me project. Each year, our project focuses on a specific sub-topic related to poverty, and dives deep into the numbers and beyond the stereotypes.
