Our Purpose

In hopes of raising the awareness on poverty, this website has been created to educate and inform viewers like you on poverty centering around N.Y., United States of America and the Philippines. This is a non-profit project and though we may be attempting to encourage you to participate with some discussed organizations, we are in no way receiving anything. We are in no way connected to any organizations listed within this blog.

Despite the fact the page looks rather incomplete, this will be finished in time.
We thank viewers like you for your consideration in your participation to raise poverty awareness.
