In its own words
We support self help projects in rural communities in south asia aimed at improving the lives of inhabitants. We conduct our programs through carefully chosen partners in south asia who are all non-governmental organizations experienced in rural sustainable development programs. We raise funds in canada for this purpose and we have programs in canada aimed at educating candians as to the need for this type of partnership.
