"World Accord is a not-for-profit, non-governmental
international development organization."
But what do we really do?
World Accord brings people together.
The farmer in Saskatchewan who feels connected through the land with the farmer in Honduras. The retired widow in small-town Ontario who finds healing in the micro-enterprises of war widows in Guatemala. The 15-year old in Vancouver, who sees for the first time the richness of her own life of choices and possibilities reflected in the eyes of a battered wife no older than she is, at a shelter in India.
By educating them about the challenges and needs of the poor, World Accord connects people in Canada with people in the developing world.
Through World Accord, Canadians who want to make a real difference in the lives of the poor are connected to grassroots community organizations in the developing world that can take modest amounts of money and amplify it through their hard work, their ingenuity, their dignity and their cooperation to make lasting, transforming changes in the quality of their lives.
