Anti-poverty week runs from the 12th to 18th of this month. Sometimes the issue of poverty, particularly on a world scale, can be so overwhelming the temptation is to avoid or ignore it.

In North India, urban development workers from the local church, supported by UnitingWorld, are creating new opportunities for people to feel a sense of hope and joy.
