How close to the edge are families living?

These questions are based on real situations faced by kids and families in different parts of the world. Costs are approximate and can change, but the pressure is real.

If some of the answers surprise you, that's the point. Many of us underestimate how far (or not far) a few dollars can actually go.

EK Cup does not promise to "save the world". We focus on simple, honest help: meals, warmth, school support, and emergency needs through trusted local partners.

Some kids walk 30–60 minutes to school on an empty stomach.
In some regions, a few dollars can cover notebooks and pencils for a term.
Winter jackets or blankets are often "extra" families simply can't afford.

If this quiz opens your eyes even a little, consider making your "one cup" a steady, monthly choice instead of a one‑time thought.
