POVERTY AWARENESS

GlobeAt Poverty Resolutions, we believe that education is empowerment. As such, a main focus of our mission is to spread education and awareness of global poverty among Americans. We strive to provide superior and relevant educational material to institutions in order to help youth gain an understanding of how they can be effective ambassadors for the people of Haiti and other developing countries. We do not see knowledge as an end in itself, but rather hope to inspire young people to act.

 

While we channel our funds to alleviate poverty in Haiti, we are committed to the worldwide fight against poverty and want to expose the struggles and obstacles that the impoverished face in modern society. In educating others about the evils of poverty, and the ways in which those evils can be combated, we hope to engage the American population in our mission to resolve poverty worldwide.

Poverty Resolutions has developed a variety of educational presentations and programs intended to illustrate the harsh realities of global poverty. We have created targeted materials based on age level that spread awareness about both the challenges facing the developing world as well as Haitian culture:

 

Our presentations are not limited to the scholastic community. If you have a youth group, community group, religious group, or other organization and are interested in learning about global poverty, please contact us. We will work with you to bring an appropriate presentation to your group.

Although we can't bring our programming to every school across the country, we want our message to be shared with as many people as possible. Therefore, as part of our Poverty Week initiative, we have compiled an online portfolio of materials that can be used to examine the challenges of Haitian and global poverty. Many of our presenting materials, including accompanying videos and activities for student engagement, have been organized by age level and incorporated into various suggested lesson plans.

Our high school / university programming consists of two presentations. First, we have a 60 minutes long video presentation, in which we screen our 30-minute documentary highlighting dollar-a-day poverty in Haiti in conjunction with a short presentation describing the perils of the global poor. Second, we offer a non-video program, in which we give a 30-minute presentation that conveys the situation of the impoverished around the world and the potential paths to eradicating poverty.

For middle school students, we have developed programming that illustrates the plight of the poor, but in a less graphic manner. We have produced a version of our documentary that is appropriate for a younger demographic, and which can be screened alongside a short presentation. If a non-video program is preferred, we offer a 30-minute presentation that highlights the aspects of global poverty we seek to combat while maintaining a tone and focus that is suitable for a less mature audience.

We understand that the situation in Haiti and other impoverished countries is too dramatic to share with the youngest grade levels. However, we believe that in educating young children about other cultures and societies, we will encourage them to become engaged in international development as they mature. We have therefore created a 40-minute engaging presentation targeting elementary school children that introduces them to Haitian culture and allows them to explore hands-on the differences between American and Haitian society.
