Today, we have twenty-six schools in villages in Tanzania which are providing an education to nearly 7300 students, and we are currently partnering with people in 188 villages, working together to try to build an additional 138 classrooms this year and to open at least two more of the six new schools under construction.

The International Conservation Fund of Canada (ICFC) is the first Canadian non-governmental organization to focus solely on conserving nature in the tropics and other priority areas worldwide. Now with programs in eight countries, ICFC works with experienced local partners to carry out carefully chosen projects and programs. Canadians benefit directly and indirectly from nature conservation, as do people in all nations. As an affluent country, Canada can do more to supply much needed funding for conservation in less developed countries. We appreciate your interest and support. Together, Canadians can make a positive difference.

Working with local grassroots charities and NGOs in 13 countries across the globe, the Global Vision International (GVI) Charitable Trust manages and raises funds for numerous long-term programs. These funds are used to support our local partners with the aims of alleviating poverty, illiteracy, environmental degradation and climate change. We do this through education, nutrition, conservation and capacity building. Our work focuses upon 3 key objectives: awareness, impact and empowerment. The aim is to create awareness of global issues, have a direct impact on those issues locally and empower our alumni, be they volunteers, donors, staff or community members, to continue impacting local issues on a global level.
