Project Description
The goal of the Canadian Rotary Collaboration for International Development's (CRCID) program is to improve the living conditions of disadvantaged groups especially vulnerable children and girls in eight developing countries in Central America and in Africa. The program supports eight initiatives in either literacy education or health (including water and sanitation). CRCID supports sustainable initiatives in developing countries by (1) participating actively in the development and implementation of effective programs that meet the needs of the communities in developing countries; (2) creating and enhancing development awareness in Canada and abroad; (3) building capacity in Canada and in developing countries; (4) securing human and financial resources; and (5) ensuring sound governance within Canadian and developing country organizations.
