Volunteer Run

Rose Charities Canada, is run by volunteers. Salaries are paid to local people in the communities we serve.

Neutrality

We are secular and non-political. Our purpose is simply to improve quality of life.

Humility

We do not dictate, but listen to communities and work with them as they find their own solutions to the problems of poverty and inequality.

Partnership and Education

We support community based projects that have strong leadership, local staff and dedicated volunteers. Our role is to find the resources and skills to enhance their impact.

Equality of All Persons

We believe all lives are inherently equal. We believe all children have a right to education and all persons have a right to healthcare and safety.

Although the holidays have just started, I wish we continued schooling until we complete the whole year. I am addicted to going to school rather than sitting at home. If you invest enough time in something, it gives you positive results!

Kenneth Ssengendo, 4th Year Student

I just can’t wait to go back! I miss everyone and everything about StandTall!

Honey Halpern, Volunteer

“After leaving Africa in 2004, I always knew that somehow I would need to find a way to give back to those children and fulfill on the hope they felt and the optimism they saw for their future despite the poverty and despair they were living in.”

Galib Kara, SMILES Director

We had a fantastic visit with the principal of StandTall. It is a remarkable place filled with learning, smiles and ambition. We acquired plenty of information that will help our program grow.
