Raising Money Where It’s Needed

I've been feeling helpless while watching the trucker convoy fundraising climb past $6 million, and wondering why we as a country aren't rallying like this for crucial, basic needs like clean water, food security and everyday safety for Indigenous communities. Instead of waiting for someone else to do it, I've started this campaign to benefit the Ontario Native Women's Charitable Foundation. I've chatted with the wonderful folks there, and any donation will certainly help make an impact.

 

The Ontario Native Women’s Association (ONWA) is a not for profit organization to empower and support all Indigenous women and their families in the province of Ontario through research, advocacy, policy development and programs that focus on local, regional and provincial activities.

 

Established in 1971, ONWA delivers culturally enriched programs and services to Indigenous women and their families regardless of their status or locality. They are committed to providing services that strengthen communities and guarantee the preservation of Indigenous culture, identity, art, language and heritage. Ending violence against Indigenous women and their families and ensuring equal access to justice, education, health services, environmental stewardship and economic development, sit at the cornerstone of the organization. ONWA insists on social and cultural well–being for all Indigenous women and their families, so that all women, regardless of tribal heritage may live their best life.
