Save the Children Canada Indigenous Programs

In Canada, the average poverty rate for Indigenous children is 40%, more than twice the national average of 17%, and 50% of status First Nations children live below the poverty line. These facts must be changed through collaborative, long-term and sustainable solutions.

Our vision at Save the Children is of a reconciled Canada—a nation of equity, respect, and partnership, where every child attains the right to survival, safety, protection, development, and participation. Save the Children partners with Canada’s Indigenous communities to deliver programs that support this vision.
