Tous les fonds recueillis lors de cette conférence unique soutiendront directement nos projets pour l’année 2026, en Ouganda, en partenariat avec la Fondation Stephen Lewis, et au Soudan du Sud, en partenariat avec l'EUMC (WUSC) (pour en savoir davantage, voir les liens dans les commentaires).

Il y a vingt ans, nous avons entrepris de soutenir l'éducation des filles, car nous croyons que chaque enfant mérite la possibilité d'apprendre, de s’épanouir et de poursuivre ses rêves. De taille modeste et gérée par des bénévoles dévoués, notre fondation est fière d’apporter de l'espoir aux jeunes des communautés éloignées grâce à l'éducation.

Depuis 2006, nous avons amassé plus de 5 millions de dollars canadiens. Au fil des années, notre travail a évolué en fonction des besoins des communautés que nous desservons. Nous avons d'abord mis l'accent sur l'accès à l'éducation. Puis, nous nous sommes tournés vers l'amélioration de la qualité de l'éducation, en créant et en mettant en place le Laboratoire d'apprentissage mobile afin d'offrir un apprentissage pratique hors ligne à un plus grand nombre d'enfants.

Et maintenant, nous ciblons l'un des enjeux les plus urgents de notre époque : le lien entre l'éducation des filles et les changements climatiques.

Les relations que nous avons bâties au fil du temps ont approfondi notre engagement, alors que nous cherchons continuellement à apprendre de nos partenaires, tout en stimulant des idées et des approches novatrices pour rejoindre les jeunes des régions éloignées et rurales.

C’est dans cet esprit que nous tenons à remercier nos partenaires des 20 dernières années : CODE NGO, World University Service of Canada (WUSC-EUMC), CAMFED - Campaign for Female Education, The Stephen Lewis Foundation, Change for Children Association, CAUSE Canada, Embrace International Foundation Uganda, Right To Play Canada, Save the Children Canada, UNICEF Canada FR, HealthBridge Foundation of Canada, War Child Canada, Crossroads International, CARE Canada, Humanité & Inclusion Canada - Humanity & Inclusion Canada, et Acceso International.

Sans vous, rien de tout cela n'aurait été possible ; nous avons hâte d’écrire le prochain chapitre avec vous.

📅 Joignez-vous à nous pour célébrer, réfléchir et investir dans l'avenir de l'éducation des filles.

🎉 Join us as we celebrate 20 years of investing in girls' education!

We're thrilled to invite you to our 20th Anniversary Conference on September 24, featuring keynote speaker The Honourable Bob Rae, and Nafisatu Bukari from CAMFED Canada. You’ll also hear from 60 million girls President and Founder, Wanda Bedard.

Purchase tickets: https://www.zeffy.com/en-CA/ticketing/conference-20e-anniversaire

All funds raised at this year's conference will directly support our 2026 projects in Uganda, in partnership with the Stephen Lewis Foundation, and in South Sudan, in partnership with WUSC (for more info see links in the comments).

Two decades ago, we set out to support girls’ education because every child deserves the chance to learn, grow, and pursue her dreams. We are a small, volunteer-run foundation, and we are proud of our impact bringing hope to young people in remote communities through education.

Since 2006, we have raised over CAD$5 million. Over the years, our work has evolved right alongside the needs of the communities we serve. We started by focusing on access. Then we turned to improving quality of education, creating and introducing the Mobile Learning Lab to bring offline, hands-on learning to more children.

And now, we're exploring one of the most urgent issues of our time: the nexus between girls' education and climate change.
The relationships we have built over the years have deepened our commitment as we strive to continuously learn from our partners, while also sparking ideas for new and innovative approaches for reaching young people in remote, rural areas.

With that in mind, we also want to take this moment to say thank you to our partners over the last 20 years: CODE NGO, World University Service of Canada (WUSC-EUMC), CAMFED - Campaign for Female Education, The Stephen Lewis Foundation, Change for Children Association, CAUSE Canada, Embrace International Foundation Uganda, Right To Play Canada, Save the Children Canada, UNICEF Canada, HealthBridge Foundation of Canada, War Child Canada, Crossroads International, CARE Canada, Humanité & Inclusion Canada - Humanity & Inclusion Canada and Acceso International.

Without you none of this would have been possible; we can't wait to build the next chapter together.

📅 Join us to celebrate, reflect, and invest in what's next for girls' education.
