The Aninga Project is a person-to-person based educational initiative that is currently funding the education of 7 girls in Uganda - 5 based on Canadian funding and 2 based on Ugandan funding. Any money that you donate to our organization goes towards the education and related expenses of the girls who we support. This money covers everything from their school fees to pencils, books, maize and jerry cans. The Aninga Project's funds are wire transferred directly from the project's bank account to our volunteers in Uganda who ensure that all of the girls' needs are taken care of. It only costs $35/month to cover all expenses for a girl going to school in Uganda, so every donation goes a long way.

The 1st CLC course in Canada was held in Windsor, Ontario in 1953. Courses have been offered continuously since that date, and have spread across the country from Vancouver Island to Cape Breton. CLC courses are currently offered in six provinces from coast to coast. Each year, more than 1,000 Canadians join the ranks of CLC's successful graduates. Our Instructors CLC courses are taught by dedicated teams of qualified volunteers who have themselves benefited from taking the course and undertaken to pass on to others the skills that they received. CLC course instructors additionally benefit from more advanced on-going training. This important feature -- that all CLC instructors are graduates of the program -- makes possible programs which are sensitive in their approach, time-proven in their effectiveness and yet affordable. As a non-profit educational and charitable organization the fee is only for the cost of materials and administration.
