Take Action

Join the Jamii: the CPAR Community. Get Involved Today!


Jamii is the Kiswahili (or Swahili) word that means family, village or community.

The CPAR Jamii is the place where Canadians like you can find out how to make a real difference and help build healthy communities in Africa. You’ll be part of a village or Jamii committed to real change and overcoming poverty as you support CPAR’s work. 

Organize your own fundraising event, run an online campaign, speak at your school or office, volunteer, run a table at an event, host a dinner, join a CPAR Chapter, get connected on Facebook or Twitter. It’s a chance for you to bring your own passion to action in a way that works best for you. 
Join an existing Jamii, start your own or just do it yourself. 

Find out how you, your family, friends, co-workers or school can get involved and support CPAR projects in Africa as a member of the CPAR Jamii.
