International Development
In addition to empowering positive impact for ‘Children, Youth & Families’ and ‘Climate Change’ across Canada, we hope to do the same in developing countries, with a focus on sub-Saharan Africa. We look for partner organizations with a proven track record of success in effecting positive changes and deep connections with the communities they seek to serve.
We prioritize the following themes addressing health and well-being, education and economic opportunities, and climate change.
