Poverty is a reality for many individuals and families. But unless you've experienced poverty, it's difficult to truly understand. The Poverty Simulation is a profoundly moving experience. The simulation allows participants to gain increased awareness of the financial barriers, and a better understanding of the challenges faced by those living in poverty by "spending an hour in someone else's shoes".
