**About Penny Appeal Canada**

Penny Appeal Canada is a relief organization with a really BIG vision for the world. We want to create the best societies we can and to break the cycles of need and poverty for good. That’s why we work to turn small change into a BIG DIFFERENCE. We are a proud member of a global Penny Appeal family that celebrated its 10-year anniversary in 2019. Penny Appeal was first set up to provide poverty relief across Asia, the Middle East, and Africa by offering water solutions, organizing mass feedings, supporting orphan care, and providing emergency food and medical aid. Since then, we have transformed lives and empowered communities around the world and right here at home. Our vision is a world that’s united and strong. Communities working together, supporting one another, leaving need and poverty behind for good.

Penny Appeal Canada’s approach to charity is simple, yet has a massive impact. We make charitable giving affordable and rewardable, ensuring everyone can help those in need by donating just a few pennies, or cents, each day. Penny Appeal Canada is one of the fastest-growing charities in Canada.
