Calling all advocates: let's raise awareness! At MITS, we see firsthand the effects of poverty and the impact that has for the community we serve on the streets in Kenya. January is poverty awareness month in the U.S.; and we want to bring awareness to some of the same issues people in America face because of poverty.
Here’s how you can help:
Learn. Do some research on this issue and learn why it is a national and global problem. See how it affects your own community
Volunteer. Find a local organization near you that is working to combat the affects of poverty and donate your time or resources. Have cans or dry goods that you can do without? Donate to a food bank!
Spread awareness. Use your platform and social circles to shed light on this issue. Post on social media or chat with your friends.
