Africa We Care is a non-profit organization incorporated in Alberta, and recognized by Canada Customs and Revenue Agency as a Charitable Non-Governmental Organization (NGO); Africa We Care is dedicated to the alleviation and total elimination of suffering in Africa.
Africa We Care provides a welcome meeting place for newcomers from Africa. At Africa We Care, newcomers to Edmonton come to help themselves with articles of clothing like winter coats and boots, etc., and light household items. Our organization assists them in making the transition to their new lives and provides a forum where they can assist in addressing the serious issues back home and help build bridges to people in their new communities.- Africa We Care builds a model of operation that will create the funds required to maintain the core operation of Africa We Care and provide seed funding for key initiatives; and build a model that will encourage donations from individuals, groups and organizations, foundations and other granting bodies and funding from both the Government of Alberta (through the Wild Rose Foundation and other available avenues) and the Government of Canada (through CIDA) to fund additional partner driven initiatives.
- Africa We Care creates employment and job training opportunities for persons with disabilities, minorities and special groups as they lend themselves to helping the African people who are less fortunate than they are. Through the sorting and warehousing operations required to process the donated goods, they enhance their sense of self-worth and preserve their dignity as productive and contributive members of the community.
