Change begins from one. To many. For all. 💛

Meaningful change can begin with one person or one family gaining the knowledge, skills, confidence, or opportunity to shape their own lives.
Meaningful change can begin with one person's generosity, big or small.
As new possibilities take root, their impact reaches further — strengthening food-security, health, livelihoods, and relationships, and building resilience for future generations.

How can we move from partnership to shared prosperity?

On October 8, Kinvia’s Vice President, Programs and Partnerships, Marlen Mondaca, will join a panel at the Food Forward Summit exploring Indigenous leadership in Canada’s food future.

The conversation, "From Partnership to Shared Prosperity: Indigenous Leadership in Canada’s Food Future", will bring together leaders to discuss the role of Indigenous leadership in shaping Canada’s food systems.
We’re looking forward to seeing Marlen take part in this important conversation alongside Paul-Emile McNab of the Canadian Council for Indigenous Business and Kallie Wood of the National Circle for Indigenous Agriculture and Food.

🧠Knowledge connects us to who we are, where we come from, and the generations who came before us.
For Kira*, learning from her community is part of carrying knowledge forward. Through connection to culture, community, and the land, she is helping keep important knowledge and traditions alive for generations to come.

At Kinvia, we’re grateful to walk alongside Indigenous Peoples as they share knowledge, strengthen cultural connections, and nurture learning across generations.

On National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, we listen, learn, and reflect on the histories and lived experiences of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples.
Today, we also acknowledge the resurgence of Indigenous-led initiatives to advance food and cultural sovereignty. Across the Indigenous communities Kinvia works alongside, traditional ways of being and knowing continue to be honoured and carried forward through food, culture, and Indigenous values.

Today and every day we honour Indigenous Peoples, their voices and knowledge, and continue learning on our path forward.

🎉 Celebrating 15 years of COCAB!

Last week, the Coordinator of Canadian Civil Society Organizations in Bolivia (COCAB) celebrated 15 years of collaboration, connection, and strengthening relationships between Canada and Bolivia.

The celebration brought together many people, including COCAB members and allies, civil society organizations, public and private institutions, and members of the Canadian community in Bolivia. It was a meaningful opportunity to recognize the people and organizations that have contributed to COCAB’s journey and to the Canadian presence in Bolivia.

This year, Kinvia is honoured to take on the Presidency of the COCAB Board. We look forward to continuing to work alongside COCAB members and partners to strengthen connections and collaboration between Canada and Bolivia.

Here’s to the next chapter — building together!

Did you know you can give to Kinvia through your donor-advised fund (DAF)?

What is a DAF?
A donor-advised fund is a charitable giving account that lets you:
-Make a tax-deductible contribution now and recommend grants to charities over time
-Streamline your giving and stay organized in one easy-to-manage account
-Grow your philanthropy and support the causes you care about, whenever the moment strikes

If you have a donor-advised fund (DAF), you can recommend a grant to Kinvia and help support children, youth, and communities.

DAF Day on October 8, is a national giving day and a great opportunity to recommend a grant to Kinvia! It brings donors, charities, advisors, and DAF providers together to celebrate charitable giving and encourage DAF holders to recommend grants to charities across Canada.

📝Every lesson can become a skill for life.

When children have opportunities to learn, explore, and grow, they build skills that can stay with them long after they leave the classroom.

With your support, learning can help children build confidence, discover their full potential, and shape their own futures.
