Poverty and severe hardship affect more than a million Australians. 

Around the world, more than a billion people are desperately poor.

In Anti-Poverty Week, YOU can help fight poverty and hardship!

The main aims of Anti-Poverty Week are to:

• Strengthen public understanding of the causes and consequences of poverty and hardship around the world and in Australia;
• Encourage research, discussion and action to address these problems, including action by individuals, communities, organisations and governments.

Everyone is encouraged to help reduce poverty and hardship by organising an activity during the Week or taking part in an activity organised by others.
