What We Do and Where We are Currently Moms Against Poverty operates in five countries, the United States, Sierra Leon, Iran, Cambodia and Afghanistan. Serving with our core belief of efficiency and sustainability we collaborate and share resources with local non-governmental organizations to first identify and provide the children’s immediate needs and next establish effective health, immunization and education programs. Moms Against Poverty Child Assistance 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 conscious world. Millions of children between the ages of 5 and 14 are hungry, neglected or forced to live and work in hazardous conditions. 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. 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)
