Focus on Community: Empower Women by Breaking the Cycle of Generational Poverty

In this episode, I interview Iris Ortega about The Live & Learn Organization. Iris is the Community Engagement Manager and is a wealth of knowledge about the program and the history of women here in Arizona.

Iris and I discuss the Mission behind Live & Learn, and what it means to Break the Cycle of Generational Poverty.

Situational Poverty could be:

-When a parent loses a job
-When there is a divorce
-When someone suffers a chronic illness

Generational Poverty is different as it can continue from generation to generation and is ongoing. This can affect not only the parents but the children and everyone’s health.

Iris discusses how they treat the “Whole Person” in this program and not just a few things in the home. This is so important as she mentions that children in Generational Poverty are more likely to suffer from chronic illnesses, heart disease, diabetes, and so on.

We also discuss the many ways you can support Live & Learn. If you would like to help this Organization, please contact Iris at hope@liveandlearnaz.org and visit them at https://liveandlearnaz.org/. You can find more information on how to support them financially and/or by attending their upcoming events.
