UNICEF Poverty Game
UNICEF is the UN agency that is the global advocate for children’s rights, active in 191 countries through country programmes and National Committee. You wouldn't expect them to be producing games but given that game play is an excellent way to teach people about something they might not otherwise find interesting, it makes sense.
In their words "What is it like to live in poverty, struggling every day to stay healthy, keep out of debt, and get educated? Find out now in this challenging role playing game created by Global Kids and Gamelab, in which you take responsibility for a family of five in rural Haiti."
