An Interactive Poverty Simulation

Understand today. Create a more just tomorrow.

Walk in the shoes of a neighbor experiencing poverty.

A formation experience in empathy and civic understanding. This is not a game to win, and not about saving money. It is an invitation to understand how poverty limits choices and forces impossible trade-offs — so we can listen, learn, and act with greater understanding.

Two neighbors walking together along the same road, one carrying his shoes
“We cannot understand the choices poverty forces until we are willing to walk for a while on the same road”
