Finding funds for the first and last month's rent is impossible for the individual we are working with. In June 2022, the recipient will turn 65 and will have incoming funds through Canadian Pension Plan and Old Age Security however, your support will allow for the possibility of spending winter indoors for the first time in 6 years; finding an affordable apartment in Guelph or surrounding area, that is safe and can be called a home.

Our dream is to see Kenyans equipped with tools and strategies to see their nation transformed. We believe that a nation's ability to pull itself out of poverty lies with the will of the people.
Teenage girls are the most at risk of human trafficking, abuse and pregnancy. School keeps them safe and off the streets. It provides them with a meal each day and focuses on personal hygiene and life skills.
Your donation will support 2 teenage girls with an opportunity to continue their studies and provide hope for a better future.
Bugembe, Uganda Communities for Women’s Health is about empowering women through teaching sewing skills and mentoring girls on sustainable health and hygiene.
The program supports a local tailor to teach sewing skills one-on-one with each girl and a local nurse who mentors small groups about menstrual health and avoiding pregnancy.
Each program intake cycle addresses 20 girls. The program is run in a local church of a rural area where access to medical care is scarce. Your support helps prevent early pregnancies in girls and can help alleviate pain or even fatal infections. The Sewing Community is a positive environment for the girls to be together and receive much-needed guidance and mentorship while learning valuable life-long skills.

Water for families in many communities, is never taken for granted. Making $10 a day in the picking fields, to purchase water for daily chores can be very costly. Women arriving home early in the evening do not have the luxury of just turning on the tap to meet daily needs. Our hope is to help provide for 12 single mothers and three elderly couples on a weekly basis. But this is an ongoing need...there will always be a need for water. Someone once said, "he who gives a cup of water to the littles ones, shall not lose their reward." Thank you for caring enough to make a difference.
