Beautiful World Canada has established partnerships with organizations that are outstanding in their endeavours and achievements; vetted and accredited by ourselves and other reputable national and international agencies. Our partners have mastered the art of rising above challenges to create African solutions for African problems. They are community based organizations who assess each child for need and potential and provide them with support. Many organizations support primary school, but after that, most African children see their dreams wither and die. Culturally, education for boys is prioritized. Young girls will be responsible for the household chores; many are forced into working as servants, early marriage or prostitution. We focus on higher education with a priority of education for girls. We know that transformative change takes time. Therefore, Beautiful World’s commitment for each child averages six years of support through high school and university or trade school.
The Long Point area, comprising 26,250 hectares, was designated as a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in April, 1986, the third to be named in Canada and one of 15 biosphere reserves found in this country today. It provides an example of the Great Lakes coastal ecosystem and a unique blend of habitats. Its delicate dunes and marshes teem with songbirds, spawning fish, turtles and frogs. The Long Point World Biosphere Reserve Foundation promotes research, monitoring, community outreach and education, partnerships, and projects that support the goals of biodiversity, conservation and sustainable communities in the Long Point World Biosphere Reserve. We exchange information and work collaboratively with the Canadian Biosphere Reserves Association and other biosphere reserves in Canada and internationally. Our UNESCO/MAB Biosphere Reserve designation does not bring with it any new authorities over lands, water or resources.
