The journey to end poverty for good begins with a child.
Growing up in poverty, children face tough challenges: hunger and malnutrition, limited access to education and medical services, social discrimination and isolation. But with support from people like you, we can help children get the health care, education, life skills, job-readiness training and confidence they need to create lasting change in their lives and communities. Together, we can end poverty for good.
Our Impact
The over 63,000 children and youth in care in Canada often grow up in difficult and damaging circumstances. Sometimes this means that being homeless is better than being at home. Compounding this trauma is the sense of isolation that comes from not having the stable support of friends or family that most of us take for granted.
Youth TransitionEntering foster care leaving foster care are two stressful times in a child's life. Our Foundation tries to make them as comfortable and prepared as possible to tackle these momentous changes.
