Inspired by the creative experience of Cirque du Soleil and its international program for street kids, Cirque du Monde, the ONE DROP Foundation makes use of the circus arts, folklore, popular theatre, music, dance and the visual arts to promote education, community involvement and public awareness of water issues.

The foundation delivers its aid though its “Tripod” formula: Technical support, microfinancing and education through social art.

Their objective is to support at least two major education projects annually in developing countries with the greatest gender disparity in school enrollment by raising funds through their Foundation.

There are an estimated 110 million children around the world who do not attend primary school – more than 60 million of these are girls. Basic literacy and numeracy skills are the fundamental tools that will enable girls and women, as well as boys and men, to take hold of their lives and develop solutions adapted to the needs of their communities and country.

Research convincingly shows that programs directed to the education of girls are more effective than virtually any other community investment in the developing world.

Basic quality education provides girls with access to health and nutrition information for themselves and their families – including helping to prevent the transmission of HIV/AIDS. It provides a safe place to grow as they learn. It gives them the knowledge to provide economic support to their family. It delays marriage and pregnancy, thereby lowering infant and maternal mortality. And an educated woman is more likely to send her children – both boys and girls – to school, thereby increasing the likelihood of future generations receiving an education.

Education of women is the key to economic productivity and political stability.

Healthy, safe, empowered girls transform families, communities and countries.

They have chosen to invest in the women of tomorrow.

Egale has intervened before the Supreme Court of Canada in every gay rights case that has reached the Court. Egale has been involved in extensive public education and international activities.

Respect for each individual’s full identity requires that the struggle for equality cannot be carried out in isolation from the struggle for equality of all disadvantaged communities.
