Who We Are

Sheltering International Organisation

Sheltering International aims to provide life-serving skills, vocational training and emergence and relief services for everyone in urgent need. Today, over a billion people live in poverty with no access to vocational skills. That’s 14% of the world’s population. We work with marginalized communities to help eliminate poverty and destitution. We are building a world where everyone is provided adequate skills and emergence relief and empowered with tools and opportunities to thrive and contribute to society. We do this by empowering marginalized communities to succeed through free vocational training which provide access to post-secondary education and to information thereby improving literacy levels.

Our Approach

mission and visions

— Mission Statement

Sheltering International Organisation is a Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to help alleviate human suffering through sustainable development programs that foster self-reliance and preserves human dignity by empowering free skills.

— About Our Causes

Our main causes is “to help alleviate human suffering.” Since 2020, we have contributed towards facilitating sustainable development through long term development projects and maintaining human dignity by providing immediate relief assistance to many people. Our projects have helped people to become more self-sufficient and the emergency assistance provided has helped people in dire need. We have provided free professional skills training, food, and mentoring.

— Our Goal

Our goal is to help in implementing what we see as universal values founded on fundamental human rights by contributing to the alleviation of poverty and securing better socio-economic life for the disadvantaged groups through empowering them to depend on themselves and participate in the decisions concerning their own problems. These values are echoed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other United Nations human rights instruments. The freedoms and responsibilities inherent in them lead directly to tolerance, gender equality, public dialogue and non-violence to settle disputes, respect for all people regardless of differing characteristics – all part of what we call “Canadian values.”
