There are 698 million people living in poverty around the world. We want to invite you to hear a few of their stories.
Kids have the power to make a huge impact for children living in poverty, but it can be hard to inspire them to have compassion for children who live thousands of miles away. That’s why we brought together a few resources to help you equip the children in your lives (and yourselves) to have compassion for those living in poverty and to be empowered to make a difference!

In this video series, you will hear from a few tour facilitators from our Poverty Encounter experience as they walk you and your family through the Guatemala exhibit, introduce you to a child named Bruno—whose family lives in a dump in Guatemala City—and teach you a few key facts about global poverty.
