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.
