Our Work
Together with your generous support and our expert local
partners, we’re impacting lives by meeting the physical and
spiritual needs of the families living in extreme poverty.
Our Programs
Tearfund Canada provides a range of programs that work together to help families out of physical and spiritual poverty. Browse and learn about any one of our programs below.
Church Mobilization
We train and equip churches so that they can reach out beyond their walls and meet the immense physical and spiritual needs around them.
Food Security
We train farmers in simple, cost-effective farming, that help them grow significantly more food and feed their families.
Poverty Alleviation
Through savings groups and business training, we help families build equity, access capital, start new businesses, and climb out of poverty.
Trauma Healing
In places of war and instability, rape and sexual violence is all too common. Our Biblically-based trauma healing programs help restore survivors while encouraging societal change.
Climate Adaptation
A changing climate is pushing millions into poverty. Through land restoration, water management, tree planting, and climate-smart agriculture, we help farming families adapt to a new reality and thrive.
Emergency Relief
When disaster strikes, we rush in; providing emergency food, water, shelter, and other necessities to those in most need.
Reconciliation with Canada's First Nations
Motivated by the love Jesus, we work towards reconciliation with Canada’s First Nations, building trust and restoring relations.
Our Partners
Tearfund Canada works through a network of Christian denominations, churches, and agencies to implement its life changing projects. Our partners are an essential part of our work.
Where we work
Tearfund Canada works strategically in a small number of countries to achieve maximum impact. When disaster strikes, we are able to respond anywhere in the world through our partnerships with Canadian Foodgrains Bank and Tearfund Family.
