In Canada, through our Back-to-School Project, ACCESO International has been providing school supplies to economically marginalized children and youth from low-income newcomer families in Ottawa since 2003, allowing them to study with greater dignity.
Our second Ottawa project consists of an Indigenous Post-Secondary Student Bursary program. Beginning in 2022, we have been offering bursaries to First Nations, Inuit, and Métis students from the Ottawa region to assist with various post-secondary education-related costs such as tuition, books, school supplies, computer equipment and living expenses. This program reflects our commitment to Truth and Reconciliation in Canada.
