What We Do

Today the world is faced with the challenge of educating those whose parents and teachers have died through war, famine and the ravages of AIDS. We are presented with millions of children and youth who do not have access to an education. And, we are confronted with the challenge of not only being able to give generously, but also of being able to ensure that what is given is received directly by those who need it most.

Our aim is to help communities help themselves, one child at a time. We believe that education is not only the key to prosperity and knowledge, but to a tolerant and peaceful existence on earth. Through education, children and youth are prepared to address their needs and the needs of the most vulnerable in our society. It is an investment we simply must make.

That is why we have formed the Universal Youth Foundation, a registered Canadian charity. We are committed to providing educational assistance to children and youth in need in Canada and throughout the developing world by funding schools and teachers. We have a dedicated team of experienced individuals with backgrounds in education, law, international development, media, security, business, politics and youth who have come together to provide hope through education.

With your support, we can give children and youth the education they need to build a better tomorrow for themselves, their families and their communities. In turn, the children and youth we help will serve to inspire others to take on a leadership role in shaping their future - a future filled with promise and hope.
