Most of our support comes from individual Canadians living across Canada from Newfoundland to British Columbia. We also receive support from individuals in the States and the U.K. Last year approximately 900 indviduals made donations to Partners in the Horn of Africa.
We are grateful for the ongoing support of these
forward-thinking companies and groups:
Club Penguin
The New Horizon Foundation, a charitable
organization created by the founders of Club
Penguin (www.clubpenguin.com),
is dedicated to relieving poverty and
improving the health and general wellbeing
of children and families around the globe.
Club Penguin, a division of Disney
Online, provides one of the largest and
fastest-growing virtual worlds for
children. Club Penguin is a snow-covered
virtual world where children can play
games and hang out with friends. It has
developed a reputation as a trusted
provider of safe family fun due to its
rich, imaginative play environment,
filtering technology and live
moderators. It contains no third-party
advertising and is free to use and
enjoy, however a subscription membership
provides access to additional features
that enhance the play experience. Club
Penguin is headquartered in Kelowna, BC,
and can be played in English,
Portuguese, French and Spanish.
The foundation and the subscription
members of Club Penguin have become enthusiastic supporters
of Partners
over the past few years and we are very
thankful for their support. They have
built entire schools and library
additions and funded ongoing support for
education, play therapy and activities
for orphans of AIDS and for our
micro-financing programs.
Their "Kids Helping Kids" and "Coins For
Change" programs provide a unique way
for their paid subscribers to support
our projects and have helped raised the profile
of Partners in the Horn of Africa
around the world.

Members of the UFCW,
