Is there a training manual or a guidebook on how to implement a project to reduce child poverty?

For the best experience, I suggest you to take a look at Arigatou International’s An Interfaith Guide to End Child Poverty: Inspire. Act. Change. that will provide you with the resources to equip you and faith leaders, faith communities and organisations with the relevant knowledge and skills needed to address child poverty effectively.

This Resource Guide will be a tool that will help faith communities to mobilise faith–inspired resources to end child poverty, empower their constituencies to take action, build networks and coalitions with like-minded actors around the world and hold policy makers accountable to ending poverty in general and especially, ending child poverty.

This guide provides a general overview of the nature and scope of child poverty that you can use for informational and educational purposes. Moreover, it highlights the positive roles that faith communities and their leaders can, (and in reality) do serve in advocating for the eradication of child poverty, and promoting interfaith coordination and collaboration in advancing children’s dignity and well-being.

The Guide is organised as follows:

• A brief introduction to the Guide and its purpose;
• Background to the topics to be discussed within the Guide;
• A brief overview of Child Poverty and how this relates to Children’s Rights;
• A general discussion on children, religion and spirituality;
• The role of religious communities in combating Child Poverty;
• The importance of engaging with key stakeholders and developing poverty eradication projects;
• Conclusion

This guide has ten chapters, each dealing with a specific theme that analyses and relates various aspects of Child Poverty. The Guide is relevant and engaging to various audiences, for different purposes and different contexts. The guide can for instance be used as a resource to:

• Build the leadership capacity of an organisation or institution;
• Function as a training tool for adults and youth working with children;
