Combat Poverty Let All Smile

Poverty is responsible for the deaths of more than six million children before their fifth birthdays, and a child under 15 dies every five seconds around the world.

The World Bank’s definition of people living in poverty is those living on less than US$1.90 a day, due to poverty they do not have access to services and essential goods.

A paper released by the United Nations University World Institute for Development Economics Research projects that if consumption contracts in developing countries by 20 per cent, it could see an increase in poverty for 400 to 600 million people globally.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global economy could see as many as 580 million people — 8 percent of the world's population — pushed into poverty, according to researchers. COVID 19 affects severely poor people mostly who are daily earners, living in crowded housing, lack the resources to stay home and to live.

We all must ask our conscious, are we doing enough to protect the most vulnerable poor people in this pandemic?

We, Victorians have many friends and family members living miserably in our country of origin, is not it heartbreaking that our brothers, sisters and families living in hunger, in pain, without food and essentials?

Can we not help them in this hour of deepening crisis?

Can we not raise funds from your small contributions to help our Multicultural people enabling them so helping their poor families and destitute in their respective home countries?

International Council for Engineers, Australia Inc (ICEA), a not for profit organisation initiates a Project named “Combat POVERTY, Let All SMILE”

Your donation will be distributed to the people in Victoria, especially multicultural people so that they can help their family and friends living in their home country with extreme poverty.

Few dollars from your savings can bring a smile on the face of children in poor countries, they can go to school, play freely with children from affluent families.

Please donate to help our families who are living our home country in extreme poverty and we cannot afford to help them, therefore seeking your generous support in our mission to Combat POVERTY, Let All SMILE
