We are an affiliate to the Subud Canada Association and Susila Dharma International Association (SDIA). Find out more here.

Currently, we support projects improving education, health, life-skills, seniors care, and enterprise development in Indonesia, Democratic Republic of Congo, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, South Africa and Canada. There are many individuals whose lives have been improved through the generosity of Canadians and the dedication of local project leaders.

Through our partnerships with the projects we support, we strive to create a sense of trust and hope, to show those in need they are not abandoned and that there are people around the world willing to share their material abundance, their skills and their knowledge.
