Mission Statement

In Canada, we are involved in the fight against poverty and homelessness and are focused on providing food, health care services, culturally-sensitive shelter for women, their children and families in distress, and healthy nutrition to our school children and seniors. Our international focus involves promoting literacy through our free schools; access to clean water through water exploration projects; and providing relief assistance, including construction of shelters and establishing free medical clinics in countries facing natural disasters. We deliver support to the most vulnerable in our society – women and children facing domestic violence, the elderly facing hunger, and the destitute around the world suffering poverty. We are here to uplift them, empower them and help them live dignified lives.
