COPE: COST OF POVERTY EXPERIENCE »
COPE is an empathy building, bias breaking, poverty simulation. In just 3 hours it allows you to live a month in the life of a low-income family.
We have seen that COPE gives a better understanding of what it is actually like to live in poverty, enabling you to serve with empathy and understanding.
