Gathering of Rivers for Community Care

Gathering of Rivers for Community Care is devoted to providing support to improve the life of Aboriginal peoples of Canada, specifically, the economically and socially disadvantaged children, youth and families in the Matawa First Nations Communities of Aroland, Constance Lake, Eabametoong, Ginoogaming, Long Lake #58, Marten Falls, Neskantaga, Nibinamik and Webequie.

Aboriginal youth is the fastest growing demographic in Canada and yet fifty percent of Aboriginal children under the age of six live in poverty. When you choose to make a donation to the Gathering of the Rivers for Community Care you are giving so much more than money. Your financial assistance will help provide young Aboriginal people with access to education, the chance to stay in school and graduate, and the opportunity to realize their full potential.

WITH YOUR SUPPORT WE CAN:

Create bursaries
Advance the education of Matawa First Nations youth and families by establishing, maintaining and operating Learning Centres in each of its First Nations communities
Help build healthy communities in which to work, live and raise a family by providing health and social support services, and basic amenities to Matawa First Nations youth and families in need
Foster the economic, social, cultural and political development of families throughout the Matawa First Nations Communities
