Canada Without Poverty (CWP) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to eradicating poverty in Canada and educating Canadians about the link between poverty and human rights.[1]
CWP is based in Ottawa, with a second office in Vancouver and is run by a board of directors who have, or have had, personal experiences of poverty.[2]
CWP campaigned for the development of consistent poverty indicators, which can be used to effectively help the estimated 1 in 15 (2.4 million) Canadians living in conditions of poverty.[3][4][5]
CWP has had partnerships with the Red Tents Campaign,[6] Dignity for All: the campaign for a poverty-free Canada,[7] Voices - Voix,[8] and the BC Poverty Reduction Coalition.[9]
