What we do.
Helping children, youth and families thrive.
|
Through fundraising and community partnerships, the Children’s Aid Foundation of Halton enriches the lives of children, youth and families enabling them to thrive and reach for tomorrow. The crucial programs supported by the CAFH are delivered to all children and youth in need within the Region of Halton.
Since 1990, with the support of generous, caring donors and sponsors, we have distributed over $5 million in support of the Halton Children's Aid Society. We are proud that funds raised from donations are directed towards programs for our children and youth to make a significant, positive impact in their lives. |
The Children’s Aid Foundation of Halton (CAFH) was founded in 1990 as a registered charitable organization to raise funds for the children and youth being cared for by the Halton Children’s Aid Society (Halton CAS). Funds raised allow the Halton CAS to provide additional services that enhance the lives of abused and neglected children and youth living in Halton.
The Halton CAS receives basic funding from the provincial government to provide food and shelter to the children and youth in its care. Extra-curricular activities, post-secondary education and the needs of children and youth not in foster care but still receiving support services from Halton CAS, are not funded, or are insufficiently funded, by the government.
