According to a CBC news report, one in six Canadian children are living in poverty a number, which has not changed in the last generation. The report also said that poor health and state care suggest that Canada is failing to meet its obligation under the United Nations Convention under the Rights of the Child.

More than one million children in Canada are living in poverty many of which are going to school hungry every day. Those same children will do poorly in school because they lack the energy to concentrate to be active and play with other children. Many of them fall asleep in class and or become weak and sick.

Children Emergency Protection Fund is working together with community groups to provide a healthy breakfast and snacks for those children who are in need. Together we can make a difference in our communities to impact the lives of our children to live productive healthy lives.
