Building health systems capacity and supporting healthy lives in low resourced regions of Africa.

CPAR builds relationships with communities from a foundation of equality and respect. CPAR understands that community members themselves are the experts and that the success of our work stems from our ability to support the processes whereby community members empower themselves to take control of their own and their family’s futures. A healthy community does not simply mean that this community will survive the hardships of tomorrow or the next day – it means that their children’s children will survive and thrive over many years. CPAR’s work is a long term commitment to change in rural Africa which is reflected in the way we build healthy communities. We work with communities to build long-term sustainable solutions as well as the community capacity and ownership that will allow them to endure.

The race to 2030 is on - and collective action matters more than ever.

As a member of the Global Alliance against Hunger and Poverty, CPAR is proud to support the call for accelerated action towards ending hunger and poverty.

Through our work with communities, local governments and partners in Africa, we see the importance of locally led solutions that strengthen food security, resilience and opportunities for sustainable development.

With just four years remaining, now is the time to turn commitments into meaningful action.

Together, we can still win the race to 2030.

À 17 ans, Eyob a fait le choix de rester à Addis-Abeba pour terminer ses études, même après le départ de sa famille. Vivre seul a toutefois entraîné des difficultés qui ont rendu la poursuite de sa scolarité de plus en plus difficile.

Dans le cadre du Projet 302, mis en œuvre par CPAR avec le soutien de Transports Canada, Eyob a reçu des repas quotidiens, des fournitures scolaires et des chaussures, ainsi qu’un accompagnement visant à renforcer sa confiance en lui, à mieux gérer son stress et à développer ses compétences en leadership.

Grâce à une plus grande stabilité et au soutien reçu, Eyob a pu se concentrer à nouveau sur ses études. Il a maintenant terminé ses examens internes et se prépare aux examens de fin d’études de 12e année.

Pour Eyob, ce soutien lui a permis de poursuivre sa scolarité et de continuer à avancer vers l’avenir qu’il a choisi de construire.

At 17, Eyob made the decision to remain in Addis Ababa to complete his education, even after his family moved away. Living on his own, however, brought challenges that made staying in school increasingly difficult.

Through Project 302, implemented by CPAR with support from Transport Canada's Commemoration Fund for the Victims of the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 Tragedy, Eyob received daily meals, school supplies and footwear, alongside mentorship and support to strengthen his confidence, manage stress and develop leadership skills.

With greater stability and support, Eyob was able to refocus on his education. He has now completed his institutional exams and is preparing for his Grade 12 leaving examinations.
For Eyob, this support has helped make it possible to stay in school and continue working toward the future he has chosen for himself.

Grâce au Projet 302, financé par Transports Canada , CPAR contribue à lever certains des obstacles concrets qui peuvent empêcher les élèves de participer pleinement à la vie scolaire.

Au cours de la dernière année, des élèves de 11 écoles d’Addis-Abeba, en Éthiopie, ont participé à des séances de mentorat et de développement des compétences de vie, à des visites éducatives, à des activités de soutien psychosocial ainsi qu’à des initiatives visant à renforcer leur confiance et leur bien-être. Plus de 5 000 filles ont également reçu des serviettes hygiéniques, ce qui leur permet de gérer leurs règles en toute sécurité et dans la dignité tout en poursuivant leurs études.

Le projet offre également un soutien ciblé aux élèves confrontés à des obstacles supplémentaires, tout en donnant aux jeunes des occasions d’apprendre au-delà de la salle de classe et de participer plus activement à la vie scolaire.

En combinant un soutien concret avec des possibilités d’apprentissage, de participation et de développement personnel, le Projet 302 contribue à créer des environnements scolaires plus inclusifs et bienveillants, où les élèves peuvent se concentrer sur leur éducation et envisager leur avenir.

Through Project 302, funded by Transport Canada's Commemoration Fund for the Victims of the Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 Tragedy, CPAR is addressing some of the practical barriers that can affect students’ ability to participate fully in school.

Over the past year, students across 11 schools in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia have taken part in mentorship and life-skills sessions, educational visits, psychosocial support, and activities designed to strengthen confidence and wellbeing. More than 5000 girls have also received sanitary pads, helping them manage their periods safely and with dignity while continuing their education.

The project also provides targeted support to students who face additional barriers, while creating opportunities for young people to learn beyond the classroom and take a more active role in school life.

By combining practical support with opportunities for learning, participation, and personal development, Project 302 is helping create more inclusive and supportive school environments where students can focus on their education and plan for their futures.
