Niagara Poverty Reduction Network
The Niagara Poverty Reduction Network is working collectively to wipe out poverty through education, collaboration and advocacy to address poverty’s root causes.
Businesses can work to ensure they follow fair employment practices, and provide employee benefits (e.g. private health insurance packages, parental leave top-ups, flexible hours) when possible. Businesses can also become Living Wage employers, agreeing to provide a wage consistent with the local cost of living to ensure households can meet their basic needs.
NPRN's successes depend on people like you willing to advocate for change and educate the community about the root causes of poverty!
