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.
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.
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.
CWP has had partnerships with the Red Tents Campaign, Dignity for All: the campaign for a poverty-free Canada, Voices - Voix, and the BC Poverty Reduction Coalition.
