Your Donation Will Save an Entire Community
Prior to the water fountain donation, women explained how it was hard in their old age to walk 5 to 10km to find drinkable water especially after a long day of working in the farm to find food to feed their children.
Moreover, men explained that the increase in cases of cholera were due to a lack of sanitary latrines and the scarcity of nearby drinkable water. This created a situation where children were forced to miss school to accompany their mothers on a long journey away from home to find clean, drinkable water.
This is the vicious cycle the DAKS Foundation want to break. No child should have to choose between education and fetching water.
In 2019, a donation of $300 was made to La Libellule, an organization committed to providing assistance for people living with an intellectual disability and for those on the autism spectrum in the Laurentides.
In 2021, a donation of $150 was made to the Papillon Foundation to support their mission of offering adapted services, allowing young children with special needs to reach their full potential and assisting with the needs of their families.
In 2022, 2023 and 2024 donations of $100, $330 and $1,100 respectively, were made to The Lighthouse for Children and Families, a community resource offering extensive palliative care services to children and providing respite, bereavement, and psychosocial support for their families.
