The Glen Rock Poverty Awareness Project
"The only real nation is humanity." -- Paul Farmer

Our Mission
We are a community organization dedicated to fighting poverty. We believe that there are no borders when it comes to caring for human life. A life in America is not more valuable than a life in Rwanda.

There are 1.1 billion people living in extreme poverty. Most of those are women and children. Living in extreme poverty means walking an average of 5.5 miles to your water source, losing children to preventable diseases like TB, Malaria and water born illness, not having the fuel to cook a meal and not having a primary school education.

Knowing about this kind of poor creates a moral obligation to take action.
Are you ready to be the change?

What we do:
1- Sponsor an annual "Poverty Awareness Week."
2- Provided teachers at each school with grade appropriate educational materials and activities.
3- Provide speakers for assemblies on the MDGs and our annual project themes.
4- Organize events in the community for educational and fundraising purposes.
5- Lobby our elected leaders to add a social justice curriculum into the educational requirements for New Jersey's students.
6 - Provide community service products for students and adults.
