Choosing a charity is a deeply personal decision, and finding one whose mission resonates with your values is essential. Moorelands Kids is committed to empowering children from low-income families to overcome socio-economic barriers to success so that they can thrive. Our experiential learning programs help children develop leadership skills, confidence and character.
Here are five reasons why Moorelands Kids should be your charity of choice, rooted in our unwavering core beliefs:
1. Every Child Has the Right to Succeed in Life
At Moorelands Kids, we believe that every child, regardless of their circumstances, deserves the opportunity to succeed. When you support Moorelands, you help break cycles of poverty and give kids the foundation they need to achieve their dreams—kids like Jonah, who looks forward to camp every year, or Alex, who found a safe and supportive environment at Moorelands.
2. Every Child Has Strengths
We recognize that every child has unique strengths and potential, no matter their background. By fostering these strengths through our tailored programs, we help kids discover their value and build confidence in themselves. In 2023, 88% of children involved in both camp and city programs at Moorelands Kids stated that they felt more confident after completing the program.
3. Addressing Unequal Opportunities
According to a 2023 report by UNICEF Canada, more than one million children in Canada are growing up in poverty, and children have the highest rate of food insecurity among all age groups in the country. As the cost of living continues to increase and budgets are strained, extracurriculars and fun activities such as summer camp take a backseat. Children from low-income households have limited access to resources and experience fewer extracurricular opportunities compared to their peers.
At Moorelands Kids, we work to level the playing field, giving children the chance to explore, learn and grow in ways they might otherwise miss. Each of our programs are subsidized to allow children and youth the same opportunities as their peers, bridging skill and educational gaps caused by socio-economic differences beyond their control.
4. Empowering Kids with Tools to Thrive
Our programs are designed to equip kids with essential life skills such as leadership, teamwork and resilience. These tools are critical for long-term success and enable children to navigate life’s challenges with confidence.
