Fundraiser Title: Supporting New Beginnings for Canadian Refugees: Youth planet.ca Fundraiser
The story of a refugee is often similar, from the conflicts of war to fleeing one’s home, the search for new beginnings is often a challenging one. New beginnings come with new languages, cultures and opportunities, all of which can become overwhelming very quickly. To help support the journey for newcomers to Canada to begin their next chapter, we are dedicated to providing a helping hand to welcome families to their new home.
About Us
Youth planet is a non for profit organization aimed at providing newcomers access to financial aid, social support, education and employment opportunities, to ensure no one is left behind.
Our Vision
Relieving poverty of persons who are impacted by the conflict of war by providing financial, educational and social support.
What We Have Done So Far Our team has organized a series of donation drives to collect essential household items (I.e., diapers, baby formula, toiletries, school supplies, jackets clothes, shoes, cleaning supplies) for the newcomers arriving from Afghanistan. We helped facilitate the collection, purchase and delivery of over 300 care packages, filled with essential items, directly to the families most in need. To help provide an avenue for income generation, we have worked with local employers to help create a list of job opportunities for families, as well as educational resources to pave the way to learning English and seeking additional training support.
Our team is also dedicated to help ensure a more welcoming transition for families arriving in Canada. With this, we have organized a series of events to help celebrate traditional holidays and embrace the beauty of diverse cultures. Most recently, we have hosted a Eid celebration for the Afghan and Syrian refugees, where we were able to provide over 100 warm meals for families, as well as face painting, henna, and games for the kids!
What We Will Do With Your Donation Your contribution will go towards purchasing essential household necessities for the families newly arriving to Canada, as well as to support the costs of future program events supporting traditional holidays or educational events.
We thank you for your on-going support to help the needs of families newly arriving from the conflicts of war. Every donation counts, and we thank you for helping make a small difference to new beginnings. Please join us today by donating and sharing this fundraiser with your friends, family, and communities.
