UBUNTU EDMONTON

Ubuntu is the brainchild of Edmonton’s Nicole Pageau (Maman Nicole). In 2004, Maman Nicole was so moved by the suffering in Rwanda that she sold all her belongings and used the proceeds to help the people of Kimironko – a destitute village populated entirely by widows and children. Ubuntu has sponsored several projects which are currently improving the lives of widows and orphans in many important ways. A food bank, a community centre, a sponsorship program, a sewing cooperative, a craft, knitting and embroidery cooperative, a community garden, and a daycare centre are Ubuntu's major achievements. They represent concrete steps towards the goal of economic self-sufficiency for the widows and children of Kimironko.

SOS Children's Village BC

Kids in foster care often have amazing talents which need to be encouraged and developed. Each child comes with a unique set of life experiences, and so the plan for their development has to be based on understanding those needs. All too often they don't receive the same opportunities as kids who get to grow up with their bio-parent. Everyday life can present enormous difficulties for kids in foster care to overcome. They often feel like they don't belong, can't learn, and aren't successful. They are at risk of emotional disturbances, delayed social development and poor educational performance. SOS BC aspires to enrich the life of every child and family we get involved with. We want kids to navigate successfully through life, so we provide a host of activities and programs that we consider necessary for their positive development.
