About Samaritan's Purse Canada
Samaritan's Purse Canada is a nondenominational evangelical Christian organization that has been providing spiritual and physical aid to hurting people around the world since 1970.
We partner with our supporters in Canada and with local organizations (usually churches) abroad to provide compassionate and cost-effective assistance to anyone who needs it, regardless of religion, race, gender or socio-economic standing.
Our emergency relief programs provide desperately needed assistance to victims of natural disaster, war, disease, and famine. As we offer food, water, and temporary shelter, we meet critical needs and give people a chance to rebuild their lives.
Through community development and vocational programs, we help people break the cycle of poverty and exploitation - giving them hope for a better tomorrow. Through education, shelter, and long-term care projects, plus our Operation Christmas Child shoebox program, we provide help and joy to vulnerable children.
Through our medical projects, we provide quality health care in the name of the Great Physician. We also send medical and dental personnel to help in countries around the world. And through our Teams program, we give servant-minded Canadians the opportunity to work alongside Samaritan's Purse on a Mission, Relief or Youth Team.
Through our Water Projects, we are providing life-saving clean water and essential health and hygiene training to hundreds of thousands of people in the developing world.
All of this much-needed effort enables us to be modern-day Good Samaritans - and often earns us opportunities to share our faith in Jesus Christ.
Samaritan's Purse Canada, established in 1973, is working in about 45 countries around the world while Samaritan's Purse International (including offices in the U.S., England, and Australia) is working in more than 100 countries.
