World Neighbours Canada is an international people-to-people organization that supports grassroots community initiatives to alleviate hunger, disease and poverty in Asia, Africa & Latin America

World Neighbours Canada supports local organizations that share some basic principles:

  • build on traditional knowledge and values to help people to analyze and solve their own problems.
  • encourage and train local leaders and organizations.
  • rooted in the tradition of neighbour helping neighbour.

World Neighbours Canada is operated by volunteers who work out of their own homes. Because our overhead costs are very low, we send 100 per cent of your donation to the field program. Furthermore, a portion of your donation is matched by the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).

World Neighbours Canada Society was founded in B.C. in 1989, and currently supports village-based integrated development programs in Burkina Faso, Honduras and Nepal. World Neighbours Canada is a non-sectarian organization. We are a federally registered charity BN 89212 8646 RR 0001.
