What We Do and Where We are

Currently Moms Against Poverty operates in three countries, the United States, Cambodia and Afghanistan. Serving with our core belief of efficiency and sustainability we collaborate with local organizations to first identify and provide the children’s immediate needs and next establish effective health, immunization and education programs. Our goal is to expand operations within two additional countries by year 2010.

Moms Against Poverty Child Advocacy Program

Every three seconds, poverty takes at least one child’s life. According to UNICEF, 25,000 children die each day due to poverty.  They die quietly far removed from the awareness of the conscience world. Millions of children between the ages of 5 and 14 are hungry, neglected or forced to live and work in hazardous conditions.

As an advocate to these children, MAP ensures that each child lives in a safe and loving environment, provided with food and shelter. We work with local partners establishing, safe houses, orphanages or individual homes for these children.

Moms Against Poverty Health Program

UNICEF estimates that 2.2 million children die each year due to preventable disease and lack of immunization. About 40 percent of school-age children suffer from disease due to poor sanitation such as intestinal worms and diarrhea.

Every child in this world deserves access to basic health care. MAP collaborates with local partners in establishing free health clinics in rural developing regions. Our goal is to first provide basic health needs to the children in these communities. Secondly provide a disease prevention program through training, alternative health care and immunization.

Moms Against Poverty Literacy and Child Education Program

Education provides the foundation for a child's intellectual, emotional and social development. Education is one of the most reliable measures towards breaking the cycle of poverty and enabling a person to further pursue his or her rights as an adult. UNESCO, research has repeatedly demonstrated the direct correlation between people’s level of literacy and their health. Yet today more than 128 million children around the world do not attend school and two-thirds of children not enrolled in school are female. (World Bank Statistics)

Moms Against Poverty believes that education is part of children’s basic right in the world today and we collaborates with local partners to create innovative, well balanced and culturally effective educational programs empowering the new generation with-in developing communities to become self reliant members of their community.
