01 / Our purpose
A stronger community starts with each of us.
WWK is a nonprofit responding to social and economic challenges faced by individuals and families in Canada and Africa. We bring people and resources together so support can reach those who need it.
Our work is guided by inclusion, active participation, and care. We operate across national, ethnic, religious, and political boundaries.
