Poverty is a reality for many individuals and families. But unless you've experienced poverty, it's difficult to truly understand. The Poverty Simulation bridges the gap from misconception to understanding through an interactive immersion experience. It sensitizes community participants to the realities of poverty.
UWKV's Poverty Simulation Kit is available for reservation by 501(c)(3) organizations in the United Way of Kaw Valley service area (Shawnee, Douglas, Jackson and Jefferson counties in northeast Kansas). To request a reservation, fill out the form and our staff will contact you.
If you are outside our service area, please call 211 to ask where a poverty simulation might be available near you.
