"Changing the World One Child at a Time" Moms Against Poverty is a volunteer based non-profit organization dedicated to serving and supporting children living in poverty in the US and around the world. Our vision is to nurture and educate these children to their fullest potential so that one day they can contribute and lead within their own communities; thus breaking the cycle of poverty. Announcements MAP 3rd Annual Norouz Dinner, Dance and Auction Fundraiser The VA Fundraising Gala on 3/3/012 was a great success thanks to all our generous sponsors, guests, and supporters. Also a heartfelt thank to the dedicated and compassionate volunteers, without whom this event would not be possible. A special thanks to Dr. Niaz Kasravi, Iman Huschmand, Teharn SoParvaz, Pedram Farsaii and the EE Team Update from Shahid Shojaie Orphanage in Iran Thanks to your generosity, we launched an education program in Shahid Shojaie Orphanage for girls in Tehran, Iran.

On Dec. 14th, MAP volunteers came together in collaboration with Como Esta Taqueria, East Palo Alto Police Officers and Central County Firefighters to bring Christmas to the students of Cesar Chavez Academy in East Palo Alto, California. The kindergarten to middle school students of Cesar Chavez and their families which numbered around 1,000 that evening enjoyed a nice Christmas dinner and each child received a present from Santa. MAP also gave away 150 food baskets that night. We thank all the individuals and businesses involved in helping bring this project together and bringing joy to hundreds of local families in need.
MAP purchased 100 new coats for teens at Parkview High School in Sterling, VA. These are hard working children whose families live below the poverty line. These coats were distributed to the teens with the help of the PEER group at ParkView high school. On Dec. 20th,we set up a shopping day for the children who needed coats. The children purchased the coats with community service hours. This program not only encourages all the children to give back to their community but also teaches them responsibility.
