Newfoundland Dogs, as well as Labrador Retrievers and certain other breeds, were specifically bred to rescue people in the water; when this natural instinct is enhanced via clear training, bonding techniques with a human handler then the dog/human team becomes beyond compare as a rescue entity for people in danger of drowning.At present in Italy, the SICS (Scuola Italiana Cani Salvataggio, The Italian School Of Rescue Dogs), has over 400 operational Dogs certified to perform rescues. There are 17 divisions of the SICS throughout Italy; these dogs patrol the beaches of Italy and have been called upon for rescues in other countries.

Since 1972 ACTS has been bringing clean water to villages in Southwestern Uganda. Our water projects include community education in the areas of health and sanitation and environmental issues. We partner with the Church of Uganda (Anglican) and have developed healthy working relationships with various local agencies as a means of providing villagers with access to resources in health (specifically HIV/AIDS testing and education) and sustainable agriculture initiatives. In recent years we have also developed Mutual Benefit Societies for widows who have limited means to support themselves and their children. Through co-operative farming, animal husbandry and handicrafts these women work together to achieve the financial means to support themselves and contribute to their communities. We have enjoyed support from CIDA in 3-1 matching funding for these projects as well as funding for Canadian youth interns to work in their field of expertise to serve these communities.

Water for People Canada provides people in developing countries in Central and South America, Africa and Asia with an opportunity to help themselves gain access to water and sanitation. By collaborating with the local community, we empower community members to take ownership of their projects. We fund sustainable water projects and sanitation systems that are built by local community members, with locally available resources, and support health and hygiene education. This model allows community members to be fully involved in the process and empowers them with the knowledge and skills they need to maintain the projects or systems in the future.
