I have been intrigued to&nbsp;help the ones in need since I visited orphanages for the first time a few years ago. I learned then that I should not take my family, my home, and all that I have for granted. That is why I developed this site, Youth Against Poverty. I want to reach out to youth, people my age, because many of them want to help and can help but they don&rsquo;t know how to. My goal is to link&nbsp;you to reliable organizations and individuals that can help the&nbsp;disadvantaged to ensure that they have better lives and have a better chance of achieving their dream.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Thank you, hope you enjoy my site, and please get involved.</p>
