STRIDE 2026

This Giving Tuesday, help make room for the next generation to learn and grow. Phase 1 of our People of Grace school and centre in the Philippines is complete, and we&rsquo;re excited to share what this milestone means: 243 students now receive education and other essential services, supported by 40 full- and part-time staff. As demand grows, some classrooms have had to be divided to welcome more students. With the remaining section of our old building preparing for demolition, we&rsquo;re raising $35,000 by year-end to launch Phase 2 of our empowerment hub. Your gift will help us take the next step in expanding our school and centre and could help cover costs such as construction materials, labour, and classroom furnishings. Through this expansion, children, youth, and families will have more opportunities to learn, develop their potential, and build brighter futures. Your partnership with People of Grace International Foundation can help the next generation break the cycle of poverty and build a future with opportunity and purpose. Another way to join us is at our annual Gratitude Gala on December 13, from 6:00&ndash;9:30 PM, at the Fleetwood Community Centre dance studio. We welcome the opportunity to come together with you. Thank you for considering a partnership with People of Grace and supporting the students and families we serve. Please give this Giving Tuesday to help reach our $35,000 year-end goal. Each contribution brings us closer to launching Phase 2.
