Notre Dame's Poverty Initiative
Poverty. It’s one of humankind’s greatest challenges. No century or country has escaped its reach. At Notre Dame, we’re working to understand why. Because, here, researching poverty is both an academic priority and a moral imperative. It’s not only what we do, it’s what we stand for. And stand against.We’re deploying unprecedented resources, a robust range of research methodologies, and some of our University’s brightest minds to better comprehend what causes poverty, and how to end it. From passionate students to world-class academics from every discipline, the Notre Dame community is partnering with communities around the world to study poverty from every angle, and help find what works to build lasting opportunity.More: https://go.nd.edu/Poverty
