Philanthropy and Social Conscience

 

We don't see philanthropy and entrepreneurship as two distinct ventures. The desire to promote the welfare of others should be the fundamental underpinning of any organization. Success should not only be determined by its monetary profit, but by its contribution to society at large. Recongizing that we have a social responsibility to both members of our organization and the broader community, we have partnered with the following philanthropic organizations:

Focus Humanitarian Assistance

Jerico donates to Focus Humanitarian Assistance (FOCUS), an international group of agencies established in Europe, North American and South Asia to complement the provision of emergency relief, principally in the developing world. FOCUS helps people in need reduce their dependence on humanitarian aid and facilitates their transition to sustainable self-reliant, long-term development.

 World Partnership Walk

Jerico is a regular contributor to The World Partnership Walk, Canada’s largest annual event dedicated to increasing awareness and raising funds to fight global poverty. The funds raised by the Partnership Walk support meaningful projects identified and implemented by local communities - projects that revitalize rural economies, ensure clean water and sanitation, strengthen community-based organizations and educate new generations of girls, boys, women and men.

Doctors without borders

Jerico is a ardent supporter of Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), an international medical humanitarian organization created by doctors and journalists in France in 1971. MSF delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and exclusion from healthcare.

 

 

Jerico donates large amounts of clothes to the Oasis Clothing Bank: a non-profit organization in Toronto providing post-treatment employment focused programs for people in recovery from drugs and alcohol.
