MAP in the U.S.
Overview
The U.S. has a population of over 329 million. Although the U.S. has the world’s largest economy by nominal GDP and net wealth, there are over 37 million people who live below the poverty line. The income inequality in the U.S. is the highest of all the G7 nations with a continued increase of the wealth gap between America’s richest and poorer families.
Poverty entails more than the lack of income and productive resources to ensure sustainable livelihoods. Its manifestations include hunger and malnutrition, limited access to education, health care and other basic services, as well as mental and emotional trauma.
MAP has worked with 40+ partner schools and centers in various locations across the country to provide food, hygiene, basic provisions, and education to those in need. Additionally, MAP provides humanitarian relief to the victims of natural disasters in the U.S.
