C4L Canada is focused on the development of resilience building and educational services and facilities in Southern Africa. We provide spiritual, logistical and financial support to vulnerable children and young adults who want to develop themselves and their communities. We do this by building financial support from individuals, churches, corporations and governments. We manage ourselves in all areas according to generally accepted accounting standards and practices.

 

 

The whole African continent is experiencing capacity shrinkage. The two main reasons for this are the Brain Drain and the AIDS pandemic. Africans are emigrating at an alarming rate. Combined with those who are incapacitated by AIDS, there is actually a more acute need for capacity building today, than ever before. Key professions like teaching, nursing and engineering are being depleted. This is having a knock-on effect when it comes to the social services. Governments in particular have to re-think their roles in terms of service delivery. More than they might have liked simply has to be devolved to people and groups at the grass roots. This is the order of the day, and another consequence is that Africa will need significant numbers of collaborators/Volunteers from overseas to shore up its sagging social services. These volunteers need to come with attitudes that allow them to transfer know-how to those they work with; this mode of learning is one that C4L Canada is using more and more.....
