World Vision Canadian Programs 2005-2015 3

Letter from the President

Our goal at World Vision is to help build a better world for children. We partner with Canadians as we work to ensure children experience life in all its fullness.

Canadians support our work in many ways, whether it's through long term development through child sponsorship, supporting immediate needs by responding when natural disasters hit, advocating for the rights of children or one of the many other ways we support children.

While our primary focus continues to be on children living in challenging circumstances internationally, we are committed to see all children meet their fullest potential--including those facing poverty's limitations here at home.

In 2005, we renewed our commitment to address poverty in Canada. We committed that we would be a strong partner with urban community-based organizations and churches that are focused on the well-being of Canadian children, families and communities.

I am happy to report that since 2005, we have developed a vibrant network of more than 100 non-profit partners, and invested almost $25 million in transformative programs that have directly touched the lives of vulnerable Canadian children.

Today we are celebrating the progress that we have seen in the last ten years, addressing the poverty that is at our doorstep. At this important milestone, I congratulate our partner

leaders across the country, and our Canadian Programs team here at World Vision as they work to make Canada a better place for children.

Michael Messenger President and CEO World Vision Canada

4 Partnering for Peace and Well-being in the Lives of Canadian Children

Q & A with Canadian Programs' Leaders

In 2005, World Vision’s W. Clayton Rowe was given a Board of Directors-endorsed mandate to launch a new strategy for

addressing poverty here at home. We sat down with Clayton (now the Director of Canadian Programs) and Hugh

Brewster (the department’s National Manager) to hear about what they have learned over the past 10 years.

Everyone loves the idea of Community Based-Organizations (CBOs) collaborating, but the reality can be quite complex.

What have you learned about partnering?

CR: Our partnerships start from a place of gratitude. We work with amazing leaders who get

up each morning energized to find ways to better support children, youth and families in their community.

Our hearts break for the challenges these families face: from youth forced to live on the street, to refugee claimants working two

jobs just to pay the rent. It is a privilege to be able to come alongside our partner leaders, finding ways to help them extend the reach and impact of their programs.

From the start, why did your team focus upon developing capacity-building support for CBO leaders?

HB: Running a CBO in Canada is no easy feat. Demands for leaders’ time are intense. Our partners are experts in offering community programs, but few have had formal training or coaching in the capacities that are needed to sustain impact over the long-haul. We learned early on that convening leaders in timely, topical learning events could have a significant impact on seeing their organizations grow. By providing access to proven tools, combined with expert coaching support, our team has contributed to our partners’ ability to thrive in difficult contexts.

One of Canadian Programs 5 key cities is in Québec. Why has this focus been important for you?

CR: Communities in Montréal are experiencing high rates of poverty. It has been gratifying to be able to offer field-tested tools, project grants and encouragement to


Q & A with Canadian Programs' Leaders

our Francophone and Anglophone partners in Québec. We are seeing newcomer children in low-income neighbourhoods like Cloverdale (in Montréal’s West Island) overcome barriers to thrive in school and in the community. Personally, I have taken on the joyful challenge of learning to speak French – a return to the Francophone roots in my family tree.

People are often surprised to learn that WV Canadian Programs has partnerships with academic institutions.

HB: It is encouraging to have had our work endorsed by universities like Wycliffe College (University of Toronto) and Trinity Western. Most recently, we’ve collaborated with Dr. Katherine Misener (University of Waterloo) in an academic article about the FreeForm Capacity Assessment tool we developed for small non-profits. Our partner leaders are doing important work in helping their participants leave poverty behind. Being able to invest in their professional development, learning and growth is a responsibility we celebrate.

It sounds like learning is at the heart of your experience over the past 10 years.

CR: Yes! Through the smooth stretches and amidst all the bumps in the road, our team has sought to be responsive, to adapt and to learn. World Vision’s commitment to building a better world for children demands nothing less.


Our Purpose

World Vision is committed to seeing children thrive and achieve their God-given potential. Recent statistics (Campaign 2000) indicate that over 1.3 million children wake up each morning facing poverty’s limitations: hunger, poor health, unsafe housing, and barriers to educational progress. The hopes and dreams of these kids can seem out of reach.

Our network of 100 community-based partners is focused on the well-being of children living in urban low-income neighbourhoods, particularly those in single parent, new Canadian and Aboriginal families. Over the past 10 years we have invested in the work of our partners in some of Canada’s largest cities: Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Regina, Winnipeg, Toronto, Hamilton, Ottawa, Montréal.


Our Vision: Child Well-Being

Our vision for every child is life, in all its fullness. No single indicator or measure can adequately capture what a child requires to flourish. "Well-being" is a holistic

concept, rooted in the interconnected spheres of education, health and safety experienced in the child’s own community.

Poverty is the result of a series of forces conspiring to drag children living within its clutches to experience hunger, ill-health, unstable housing and vulnerability to violence. The dreams of these children can seem out of reach.

Hope is a precious gift that fuels resilience in the face of poverty’s barriers. Caring peers and adults can help fan a child’s flame of hope that

a full life can indeed be pursued, and that limitations can be overcome.

Developing knowledge, skills and attitudes to fully participate in the community

Accessing healthy food, stable housing and the loving support ofa child-friendly community

Growing physical, social and cognitive assets that promote resiliency

Envisioning and pursuing life, in all its fullness


Our Philosophy: Community Development

In 2008 we set out to propose a distinctly Canadian articulation of what it means to engage in Community Development. Consulting with key Community-Based Organization (CBO) leaders across the country led to the following definition:

Journeying in the community to express aspirations, discover assets, name limitations and generate solutions for the peace and well-being of the neighbourhood.

From the Guildford neighbourhood in Surrey, to Jane-Finch in Toronto, to Hochelaga-Maisonneuve in Montréal we have learned that CBOs with the deepest impact in addressing poverty have embraced:

• listening well to their communities

• mobilizing networks, resources and partnerships

• supporting participants in achieving their own goals

• identifing and clearly measuring progress

• communicating with integrity and transparency

• learning and documenting insights all the way through.

Zoey’s* Story

Collaborative Project with Urban Promise and Muskoka Woods, Scarborough

As the oldest child living in a single parent home, I had more responsibilities than most youth my age. In the beginning, I was hesitant to join the Upward Leadership program. I knew I would be out of my comfort zone. Over time I was thankful that I participated because I gained new friends

and further developed my leadership skills. I now feel equipped with the right tools to

continue my journey of leading myself and others as I study in College.


Amoy’s* Story

Collaborative Project with Micah House, Hamilton

When we arrived in Canada we were nervous and uncertain. We had fled our home in Zimbabwe and came to Canada as refugee claimants. Micah House helped us at every step along the way. We felt welcomed and safe. They helped us with the daunting process of completing the paperwork necessary for our refugee claim and connecting us to helpful resources. We made so many friends at Micah House refugees from many different countries and also long-time Canadians. Micah House will always be our first home in Canada and we will never forget our experience there.

John’s* Story

Collaborative Project with Inner Hope, Vancouver

I can confidently say that I’ve started to do life differently. From making my bed to the

way I talk to others, it is all a product of me joining Inner Hope. It has made a 100% difference in my life. My life was not headed in the right direction. I realized that instead of blaming others I should take responsibility for my actions. I am now learning and growing in ways I never

thought possible. I know that without Inner Hope's modelling, I wouldn’t be where I am

today and I thank God.

10 Partnering for Peace and Well-being in the Lives of Canadian Children10 Partnering for Peace and Well-being in the Lives of Canadian Children

Our Approach: Building Capacity

We build networks of mutual support and leverage our collective strengths.

With our partners, we launched research such as Poverty At Your Doorstep and an Introduction to Social Enterprise, as well as the Peace in the City colloquium.

I have worked with many partners over my career, but none has been as responsive or as helpful

as World Vision. They have truly walked alongside of us in our journey. It is a reciprocal relationship, one where World Vision has attuned itself to our culture, our strengths and our needs.

World Vision demonstrates its

commitment to the well-being of children

and youth facing poverty’s limitations

in Canada by building the capacity of

Community-Based Organizations.

World Vision Canadian Programs 2005-2015 11 Canadian Programs 2005-2015 11

We contribute to the achievement of our partners’ strategy through organizational coaching and collaborative funding investment.

Since 2005, we have invested almost $25 million through 140 community development projects focused upon the well-being of Canada’s children, youth and families

In each project we generate a substantial “multiplier effect.” In 2015, our project investment of $1.7 million leveraged an additional $1.5 million (85%) partner co-investment in our priority communities.

Through investing in the leadership skills of Executive Directors and assisting them in implementing clear action plans to increase the stability of their organizations, World Vision’s impact has a multiplying effect.

Jenny ShantzExecutive Director, Inner Hope Youth Ministries

Vancouver, British Columbia

We facilitate events and design learning resources that leaders apply in their own context.

In 2015 alone, we facilitated over 25 learning events across the country. This includes our LEAP: Design, Monitoring and Evaluation workshops, FreeForm organizational capacity building program, and Capacity Series graduate level management courses.

Since 2005, we have trained over 750 CBO and Church leaders.

World Vision’s Canadian Programs has helped us grow and develop as an organization and team. I strongly endorse their work. They are playing a vital role in fighting Canadian child poverty.

Partnership with World Vision has been really helpful. They are adaptable, they are open, they allow us to

really be ourselves but encourage us to go deeper and have healthier growth. Overall, it’s been a stretch, but it’s been a good stretch.

Kathryn WalkerExecutive Director, St. James Music Academy

Vancouver, British Columbia

Partnership with World Vision has given us a lot of capacity development tools that are very hands-on and practical. Their team is always

available, so we get support in using the tools to effectively manage our organization better. It’s been great in terms of raising financial support and being able to articulate what we seek to achieve to a broader audience in Toronto.

Shawn JamesCommunity Director, Urban Promise

Toronto, Ontario

World Vision builds both ‘on-the-ground’ programming capacity and organizational strategic capacity in a partnership characterized by excellence, mutual trust and clear outcomes.

Scott MooreExecutive Director, Youth Unlimited

Toronto, Ontario

No other organization in Canada has the depth of networks, partnerships and understanding of poverty like World Vision. They have proven effective at reducing the impact of poverty on the lives of Canada’s most vulnerable children and families.

World Vision helped us remain who we are as an organization, and yet become better as an organization and as a ministry. Partnership with World Vision has strengthened our foundation and given us the possibility to take our vision to the next level.

Kent DueckExecutive Director, Inner City Youth Alive

The support that World Vision provides for what we are doing here on the ground has been superb. They provide the capacity for us to be able to offer something really excellent in the community.

Jen KellnerExecutive Director, Welcome Inn

Hamilton, Ontario

The partnership with World Vision has been extremely positive. It has enabled us to respond to the real needs of child poverty. Blending World Vision’s experience and expertise with our own has resulted in greater effectiveness, capacity and impact in our communities.

Allan HeronExecutive Director, Jeunesse Sans Limite

Montréal, Québec

The support of Canadian Programs has had a profoundly positive impact on my life and ministry. I believe that God is getting ready to do something new. I am deeply appreciative for the space you created for my development, self-examination, and cultural expression.
