The Harbinger Foundation

Update: Haiti

In light of the recent disaster in Haiti, we would like to highlight the work of one of our partners, Global Medic.

This group of committed individuals has gone to Haiti as they do with almost every international disaster to help deliver clean water and medical assistance. Global Medic are experts in emergency assistance and are always among the first to arrive on the scene. They run a small but nimble operation, fully cooperate with the organizing bodies and take no overhead fee out of the donation dollars. Every dollar donated goes directly towards the mission.

If you would like to donate to the people of Haiti, please consider Global Medic.

There is something you can do and every little bit counts.

Please give generously.

The Harbinger Foundation is a small Toronto-based family foundation.  A harbinger is a
forerunner or person who pioneers or initiates a major change.  Since 1995 the
Foundation has sought to become a catalyst for sustainable change through partnerships
with innovative charitable organizations.

The Foundation funds locally but its interests are global. We are dedicated to improving
quality of life by increasing access to clean water and sanitation in areas of extreme
poverty. In addition, the Foundation recognizes and celebrates the sacred and life
affirming role that water plays in all life.

The scale of the global water and particularly the sanitation crisis is shocking and almost unfathomable to us who have the privilege of turning on taps all over our houses full of clean water and our pick of “thrones” on which to sit.

800 million people lack access to clean drinking water
2.5 Billion people have no access to sanitation
In addition, even in Canada, 70% of aboriginal communities have major water quality issues.
