It’s a fact: Without help, children in poverty
become adults in poverty…and the cycle continues.
Children from disadvantaged communities lack access to healthcare and proper nutrition, and are often exposed to domestic violence and child labour. The work of World Action Foundation, along with its partners and volunteers, invests in these children by providing aid in educational, life skills, nutrition, healthcare, and the confidence they need to break free from poverty. This collective effort creates a positive ripple effect, empowering children and youth to improve their lives and futures, ultimately transforming their families and communities.
It’s heartbreaking that so many children are born into poverty, facing a future of limited opportunities and a lack of resources. However, World Action Foundation, its partners, and volunteers work tirelessly to give these children a chance to escape poverty by providing children with access to education, life skill guidance, nutrition, healthcare, and confidence- building opportunities. The positive impact of their work and the lives they are improving is inspiring.
That’s why World Action Foundation invites you to participate in their upcoming charity events – Will You Dance With Us ft. Suresh Joachim and Walk on Yonge Street.

Poverty is Child Labour
Poverty is a complex issue with severe consequences for children and families, oftentimes in the form of child labour. This inhuman practice robs children of their childhood, education and future potential, making it a crucial challenge to tackle. At World Action Foundation, we believe in creating a world where every child can reach their full potential and live a childhood free from the constraints of labor. Join us in the fight against poverty and child labor by supporting our efforts to provide equitable economic opportunities and resources for all. Invest in the future and help build a brighter tomorrow for the world’s most vulnerable children.
Why are we breaking a record?
160 million
Children are in child labour
45 million
Kids suffer from severe malnutrition every year
About 1 billion
Children are multi-dimensionally poor, which means they
lack necessities as basic as nutrition or clean water.
