CAUSE Canada is a Christian-motivated
International Relief and Development Organization which
strives to enable socio-economically disadvantaged communities
to achieve insofar as possible, community self-reliance.
During times of crisis, CAUSE
Canada endeavours to provide emergency assistance to
people in need, wherever these needs may manifest themselves.
CAUSE Canada is committed to
encouraging dialogue on development issues between all
peoples. Development education is seen as being of prime
importance in increasing general awareness of the enormous
discrepancies between the rich and the poor nations
of our world.
Who Do We
Serve?
CAUSE Canada targets the poorest
of the poor and marginalized people as being the primary
beneficiaries of its development programs. CC has made
a long-term commitment to supporting programs in the
rural regions of the developing world as a means of
redressing the urban migration problem.
A Commitment to Sustainable
Development
CAUSE Canada is committed to
supporting sustainable development projects in geographical
regions where there is an under-representation of aid
organizations. It is the belief of CC that each individual
is precious in the eyes of God and that to be lacking
access to food, water, and basic health care is to be
deprived of the promise of a full and abundant life.
In West Africa and Central
America
CAUSE Canada focuses its overseas
funding assistance within West Africa and Central America
where the following countries have been strategically
selected: Guatemala, Honduras, Sierra Leone, and the
Ivory Coast.
Our development priorities include:
- Primary
Health Care (PHC)
- Water and Sanitation Reforestation
- Gender-Specific Development
Initiatives (Women’s Projects)
- Micro-enterprise Projects
Relief Operations
CAUSE Canada’s relief operations
concentrate on crises which occur in geographic regions
where CC can clearly demonstrate a proven expertise.
CC has provided emergency assistance for West African
refugees and displaced persons since 1991. This work
has been undertaken in partnership with The United Nationsl
High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), the World Food
Program (WFP), UNICEF and the Canadian International
Development Agency (CIDA).
CAUSE Canada sees development
as being a process, not an end; to develop is to become,
not only to have. Development does not necessarily mean
industrialization. One of CC’s preferred definitions
for development relates to the unfolding of people’s
collective imagination In defining not only who they
are, but where they want to go. To this end, CC is committed
to the challenge of assisting our Southern partners
in the establishment and strengthening of their own
Non-Government Organization (NGO) communities.
