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.

FreeSchools World Literacy is a registered Canadian charity that works to end illiteracy among the world's poorest. We believe illiteracy and ignorance go hand in hand and are the root causes of extreme poverty. This leads to violence, discrimination, human trafficking, and ultimately human suffering. We seek to end this by providing a low-cost, non-formal education to those who need it most. We have 79 schools in operation in parts of India and Thailand, and have improved the lives of over 3,000 people. Through our field partners we secure a donated and safe environment - helping to keep our costs very low - and hire a local teacher who truly understands their community. Our program is secular and does not impose any Western value: instead we encourage each school to evolve on its own. Help us break the cycle of extreme poverty and violence against these most vulnerable of people by donating today.
