The First Nations' National Child Benefit Reinvestment (NCBR) initiative provides a great opportunity to First Nations to develop projects that will address child poverty which exist in their individual community. The initiative is flexible enough to allow First Nations to choose different ways to improve the well-being of low-income families. Communities can decide which priority they would like to see addressed during the course of a given year. There is a wide range of activities that can be undertaken, such as hot lunch program for school children, improving employability of parents, cultural awareness, etc. These are but a few examples.
