Our Mission:
Rooted in God’s radical love, expressed through compassion and action, the Regina Anti-Poverty Ministry advocates and educates with and for those seeking social and economic justice.
Your generosity makes it possible for individuals to access resources to meet their basic needs.
Whether it is a one-time donation or recurring donation, every dollar goes directly to our mission helping people who have slipped into poverty with the challenges they face.
Another of RAPM’s key services is that of striving for social justice.
Poverty is much more than inadequate living resources. Instead, true poverty is best understood as a lack of justice — and we must address this injustice on both an economic and political level.
Social justice is defined as “justice in terms of the distribution of wealth, opportunities, and privileges within a society.” Often this is achieved through institutions or services that work to make sure people can equally access the benefits of social cooperation and guard against socio-economic inequality. In addition, social justice is fairness as it manifests in society. That includes fairness in healthcare, employment, housing, and more. #poverty #advocacy #socialjustice
You can also support poverty elimination by contacting your Provincial MLA to insist upon necessary changes to political policies and legislation affecting those living in poverty in Saskatchewan. For more information, visit the RAPM website or the link in our bio. #poverty #support #beheard
How can you support poverty elimination in our province?
Educate yourself and become an advocate for the poor in conversations that occur in your workplace, with your family and your friend groups.
The Anti-Poverty Ministry’s publication entitled, “The Low Income Anthology” is an excellent resource to learn more about individual people who struggle to live in poverty. Contact our office for a copy, as well as for other resources. #poverty #education

Economic inequality is associated with many social and health problems.
Poverty is not just about money, it’s about being excluded from community life.
