Support the Cause

Every dollar helps. No matter what you are able to give, your support will help change lives in rural Africa.

When you make a single gift and support critical health and development projects in rural Africa you are helping to provide primary health care, secure livelihoods, adequate food and nutrition, clean water and safe sanitation and a healthy environment.

Support African communities as they strive for a brighter future that will help to ensure the health and wellness of future generations.

Why Our Donors Support Us – A Donor Testimonial

I have continued to support CPAR because it is a Canadian organization that is large enough to be making a significant impact, but still small enough that our donations can make a real difference over time.

CPAR takes a comprehensive view of health – understanding that it is not just about clinical care or even the usual mix of preventive activities. For example, they recognize that education and the ability to earn an income and/or to grow food is essential for health, and their programs reflect that holistic approach.

They concentrate on helping Africans to do it themselves, with only essential technical input from outside – important for long term sustainability.

I have had a strong personal interest (in supporting development projects in Africa) since I first attended a Commonwealth Health Ministers meeting in Tanzania in 1978. I have since been to Africa quite often and want to do my part to help Africans to realise their potential. We can’t all go to Africa to work but we can all contribute by donating to a fine NGO such as CPAR.
