You are Invited!

Please join us in celebrating 50 years of international cooperation. Today with the support of volunteers North and South, Canadian Crossroads International is reducing poverty, mitigating the impact of HIV and AIDS and increasing women’s rights through partnership projects between Canada and West Africa, Southern Africa and South America.

October 17 is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. At the 50th Anniversary event we will also Stand Up to Make Poverty History. Last year, over 43 million people Stood Up to demand that world leaders keep their promises to end poverty and inequality. This year, help us break that record and send an even louder message to global leaders that we must reach the Millennium Development Goals.
