Helping Support Communities in their Struggle for Education	Who is CAFE? CAFE stands for "Canadian Aid for Education." We are a non-profit, charitable organization based in Whitby, Ontario that supports education related projects in the developing world. It was started in 2002 by a group of concerned Canadians from the Toronto area who believe that education is essential for helping people to get out of poverty and begin to improve their lives. Mission Statement: To seek participation and partnership in Canada and abroad to sponsor community projects which will enhance the development of the full potential of people in developing countries. It is our vision that by supporting people in their struggle for education, we may in some small way empower them to take control of their future. more...
