Gender equality is not only a basic human right, but its achievement has enormous socio-economic ramifications. Empowering women fuels thriving economies, spurring productivity and growth. Yet gender inequalities remain deeply entrenched in every society. Women lack access to decent work and face occupational segregation and gender wage gaps. They are too often denied access to basic education and health care. Women in all parts of the world suffer violence and discrimination. They are under-represented in political and economic decision-making processes. UN Women was created to address such challenges. It is a dynamic and strong champion for women and girls, providing them with a powerful voice at the global, regional and local levels.. We work to improve the lives of women in Canada and around the world. Your generosity today will provide a better tomorrow for girls and women worldwide.

When the founders of Pencils for Kids discovered in December 2005 that 30 children were sharing ONE pencil in a community in Niger, Africa they decided to act. Since that time, P4K has partnered with Liboré, a community of 25,000 people in Niger, where only two schools go beyond Grade 6. Since 2006, P4K has sent over 20,000 kilograms of school supplies, created pen-pal relationships, built three schools, a library, opened a sewing centre for girls and started sponsoring scholarships for girls. We have also piloted the first Farmers of the Future program in three village schools, teaching children in primary school to move from subsistence farming to a business model where they can learn how to market their produce and invest their earnings. We do this one pencil, one book and one community at a time.

Beautiful World Canada has established partnerships with organizations that are outstanding in their endeavours and achievements; vetted and accredited by ourselves and other reputable national and international agencies. Our partners have mastered the art of rising above challenges to create African solutions for African problems. They are community based organizations who assess each child for need and potential and provide them with support. Many organizations support primary school, but after that, most African children see their dreams wither and die. Culturally, education for boys is prioritized. Young girls will be responsible for the household chores; many are forced into working as servants, early marriage or prostitution. We focus on higher education with a priority of education for girls. We know that transformative change takes time. Therefore, Beautiful World’s commitment for each child averages six years of support through high school and university or trade school.
