Fraser & Leslie Wilkinson
I believe every child should receive nutrition, an education, a home, a family, and love… and that is what they are given at Project Canaan. Because of this place, these children are finally being given what every child should have the right to in life. If I can be a small part of that love it’s worth every penny.
Jeni Hudson
I loved the fact that we could travel to this country and see the difference our small donation makes to these beautiful children and meet them and the staff. My daughter and I cannot wait to go back to visit again soon. All the children we met are growing so fast.
Amanda Barclay
I sponsor a child through Heart for Africa (Canada) to make a difference in the world of a child, to give a child an opportunity to feel loved, free from poverty and have opportunities for education.
Ruth Noble
I’ve seen firsthand the profound difference this charity is making in the lives of children in a country that has been shattered by the impacts of HIV/AIDS. The child sponsorship program creates change—and I encourage you to act now and become a Heart for Africa (Canada) child sponsor. You’ll never regret it.
