HEALCANADA is a grassroots organization dedicated to positively transforming communities in developing African countries and Canada through a holistic approach to Health, Education, community Action and Leadership development.

Based in West Vancouver, BC, a committed board with extensive knowledge and years of experience in humanitarian work leads HEALCANADA into its first year as a charitable organization.

Our organization focuses its work in the Great Lakes region of eastern Africa. This area continues to struggle in the face of conflict, HIV/AIDS, poverty and disease and yet the people are resilient and humble, brimming with gratitude and grace.

HEALCANADA also works locally. Our first project in Canada provides safety and support to vulnerable women and their children fleeing abusive situations.

The right to adequate medical care, gender equality and the basic right of an education form the core of our current projects. These initiatives focus on programs that benefit and create opportunities for women and children.
