At Maytree, we believe that poverty violates our basic human rights. It harms people and communities. Our economic and social systems create poverty when they fail to focus on human dignity. The most enduring way to keep people out of poverty is to reimagine and rebuild our public systems to respect, protect, and fulfill the economic and social rights of every person in Canada.
