Development and Peace — Caritas Canada has launched Raise Hope: Semilleros Edition. This youth-focused initiative allows you to stand in solidarity with and raise money for communities in Colombia, all while connecting with other young people across Canada!
Learn about the work of our partner, the Asociación Campesina de Antioquia (ACA), take on challenges, raise funds and connect directly with young people working on the ground. An enriching experience to share with other young people from across Canada!
THINKfast is an interactive learning experience designed for young people. You can choose from a collection of activities and reflections that will help you and your group experience the challenges of poverty and injustice in concrete ways.
By participating in this 25-hour educational and fundraising fast you stand in solidarity with those in the Global South who need our support, both through financial support to projects they are leading, and through a greater understanding of the structures that perpetuate poverty and injustice. In one day, you take a stand against oppression and directly support programs in Asia, Africa, Latin America and the Middle East that bring about peace, justice, and development.
When it comes to raising funds for Development and Peace – Caritas Canada, our dedicated members are full of creativity!
Over the years, we have seen all kinds of initiatives, from bake sales to fair trade products, to cheese sales; from schools organizing walks and auctions, to young people participating in a THINKfast, every initiative is precious and every gesture counts.
It is thanks to your enthusiasm and generosity that we can build a world of justice by supporting the initiatives of our sisters and brothers in the Global South.
Here are some tips and resources to help you organize a fundraiser in your community.
