Our Inspiration

"It is no longer possible to maintain the belief that the approach to social and economic development to which the materialistic conception of life has given rise, is capable of meeting humanity"s needs... Unless the development of society finds a purpose beyond the mere amelioration of material conditions, it will fail of attaining even these goals. That purpose must be sought in spiritual dimensions of life." -The Prosperity of Humankind, Baha"i International Community

Global Connections

Cowichan Valley, Bowen Island and Vancouver, Canada... ... to Takpo Village, in Nadowli District NW Ghana.  

Each Canadian partners with one widow in the village and supports her to develop sustained economic income to support herself and her family. This year's effort has focused on planting moringa seedlings. An ideal crop for the area, the Moringa grows well in poor soil and needs very little water. The edible leaves of the Moringa contain more protein than either beef or soy, and its abundant gifts don’t stop there. It can be a source ingredient for bio fuel and livestock feed, and it even has the ability to purify water. They would then save the seeds from the plants this year and grow each over a hundred trees next year. By next year we hope they could have another crop they could sell at the regional markets as well as food to supplement their diet. more
