“Send-A-Kid-To-Camp” (SAKTC) program

Summer camp offers children a many opportunities and skills, and if nothing else, give them a break from stressful home situations. We use existing camps across ON. and encompass the whole camping experience by covering all camp fees, assisting with transportation necessities.

Bursary Program

Over the years, it has become clear that although child abuse prevention is an important component of assisting high risk children, education is the key to breaking the generational pattern of abuse, unemployment and welfare dependency that plaques these children. Have no families to rely upon, these young people must support themselves and pay for their education through part time work and student loans. Some of these youth find the financial burden of school too daunting and do not proceed with their dreams. Bursaries would help alleviate some of the financial burden and encourage them to continue their educational path was lack of education.
