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.
The private sector has a key role to play in reducing poverty in our community.
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.

Ensuring the public is aware and responsive to people living in poverty is a key part of reducing poverty in our community. To take action, consider having NPRN talk to your students/organization/workplace about the root causes of poverty
Consider joining NPRN in bringing a poverty-focus to the work of your agency, organization, network or club!
NPRN's successes depend on people like you willing to advocate for change and educate the community about the root causes of poverty!
