When disaster strikes in Canada and in countries around the world, many Canadians want to help, but are unsure as to the best way to do so. A lot of people here in BC would like to donate money to help our peers and those with disabilities around the world with medical aid, food, shelter & re-building relief efforts, but don’t know if certain organizations are efficient or experienced.
The Government of Canada has compiled a list of experienced humanitarian partners and relief agencies that deliver aid in affected areas:
