Kansas City, MO, October 15, 2013 /3BL Media/ - The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (October 17) this year is focused on “working together toward a world without discrimination: building on the experience and knowledge of people in extreme poverty.” In areas of deep global poverty, access to food, resources, education and a sense of community pride are often missing, laying the foundation for a problematic future. Children International’s community centers – staffed with caring adults and offering constructive programs to children and youth – are designed to offset the traps of poverty. They are an integral part of the community, where staff can understand the issues in the community and develop programs designed to address the needs of the children in that community.
