Who is Two Dollar Challenge?
Two Dollar Challenge is an organization dedicated to engaging a generation of students in the fight against global and domestic poverty.
What does the name "Two Dollar Challenge" refer to?
The World Bank has estimated that about half the world lives on two dollars a day or less. This rampant condition of poverty is the great challenge of our time, and it is the challenge to which we commit ourselves.
Can you really show students what it means to live in poverty?
We acknowledge that it is almost impossible to simulate the real agony of poverty in a controlled environment. That said, we believe our experiential learning program offers students at least a kernel of empathy from which they can understand the harsh reality of poverty. It is this small piece of earned awareness that genuinely motivates students to eradicate poverty.
