A woman with fair skin, green eyes, and shoulder-length dark brown hair takes a selfie while looking at the camera with a slight smile. She wears cat-eye glasses with black and pink frames, a purple short-sleeve t-shirt with white text reading "break the poverty machine" and "@antipovertycent" printed below, a thin silver chain necklace, and patterned pants. A beige bag strap crosses her right shoulder and a dark green bag handle is held in her left hand. She stands on a concrete surface in a parking garage, with a white car partially visible in the background to the upper left, yellow parking lines on the asphalt, and a metal pole near the car. The image is taken from a high angle, showing her upper body and part of the garage environment.

INTERACTIVE LEARNING EXPERIENCE

The Cost of Poverty: Impossible Choices
By doing this interactive learning experience you will learn about the realities and experiences of people living in poverty. The aim is to raise awareness and compassion while reducing stigma and judgment. As you move through the scenarios, try to approach each person’s decisions with curiosity and empathy rather than judging what they “should” do. Their choices are shaped by the resources, pressures and options available to them, and sometimes every available option carries a cost.

Exploring poverty in the Mallee and across Australia

Every day, people make decisions about food, housing, healthcare, transport and bills.

For many people experiencing poverty, these decisions are not about wants or luxuries. They are about choosing which essential need must come first.

In this experience, you will step into the lives of three people living in the Mallee region. You will make decisions based on their circumstances, resources and challenges.

There are no perfect choices.
Every decision has a consequence, and a choice that solves one problem may create another.

She looks directly at the camera with a slight smile. She wears a purple apron printed with teapots, teacups, and the Hello Kitty character wearing a unicorn headband. Visible text on the mug reads Hello Kitty. The background shows a plain light-colored wall, a dark rectangular object to the right, and a textured surface below.
