In 1991, the Paul Gérin-Lajoie Foundation created La Dictée P.G.L., a major educational project implemented in Canada and internationally for elementary and secondary school students. Over the years, this flagship program has been enriched with new initiatives, such as the Francophonie Dictée P.G.L. dedicated to businesses and the Municipal Dictée P.G.L. aimed at integrating newcomers.

The Paul Gérin-Lajoie Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to contribute to improving living conditions through quality education in Africa and Haiti. The Foundation is also recognized for its projects in socio-economic empowerment, health and food security, sustainable development, and gender equality. In Canada, the Foundation carries out awareness-raising activities on international cooperation and solidarity, notably through the Skills, Leadership, Education Volunteer Cooperation Program (CLÉ Program).

The Co-operative Development Foundation of Canada (CDF Canada) is a national non-profit and social impact partner advancing sustainable, inclusive economies through the co-operative model. We work alongside communities in the Global South to strengthen co-operatives and credit unions through leadership development and capacity building - so they can design and lead their own solutions.

Rooted in shared co-operative values, we help build community-owned systems that reflect local priorities, knowledge, and leadership - ensuring change is led from within, not delivered from outside.

By investing in people and co-operatives, we help build stronger communities, more resilient local economies, and a future shaped by those who live it.

Veterinarians Without Borders North America (VWB) is a mission-driven organization working at the intersection of animal,

human, and environmental health. Guided by a One Health approach, we partner with communities in Sub-Saharan Africa,

Southeast Asia, Europe, and North America to strengthen animal health systems, support sustainable livelihoods, and improve

health outcomes for all species.

We believe healthy animals lead to healthier people and more resilient environments. That’s why we integrate veterinary

services, public health, environmental sustainability, and gender equity into everything we do.
