| In East Vancouver the poverty rates are: – Strathcona 58% – Downtown Eastside 70% |
| In the Greater Downtown Eastside: – 80% of children are behind the provincial average in reading – 50% of children are behind in mathematics |
| Vancouver Urban Ministries’ aim is to help break the cycle of poverty for some of the most vulnerable families in East Vancouver. Together we can give children with learning challenges a genuine opportunity to grow intellectually and emotionally, develop healthy outlooks in life, and reach their fullest potential. |
| 1）Children with learning difficulties receive specialized one-on-one tutoring, have a good start in education, and grow to reach their full potential. |
| 2）Children are encouraged to develop self-esteem, confidence, and a sense of achievement. |
| 3）Children and their families would find hope for a brighter future as they experience caring, long-term relationships with their tutors and other VUM volunteers. |
