Project Love

Looking for an inexpensive, fun, easy, curriculum-friendly way to engage your students in global issues? CODE’s Project Love has been inspiring children across Canada for more than 20 years to think globally, act locally and make a difference. Through Project Love students learn about global issues through curriculum-based activities, fundraising, and making kits of school supplies for students in developing countries. Each Project Love kit includes a pencil, eraser, notebook, ruler and a personal letter from a Canadian student to the kit’s recipient in Malawi or Haiti. Through Project Love, CODE empowers Canadian children to act as global citizens. Students learn about the challenges their peers in other parts of the world face, and understand that the kits of school supplies they assemble and send can make a real difference. Project Love also enables students to demonstrate leadership, philanthropy and social justice. This year, our goal is to send 75,000 Project Love kits to Malawi and Haiti, countries where educational resources are scarce. Education is the key to reducing poverty. Every single child - every boy and girl in the world - has the right to an education that gives them a real chance in life. About 500 schools across the country participate in Project Love each year. CODE makes it fun and easy with its downloadable posters, forms, teacher resources, a DVD and an on-line interactive bulletin board where we can share your creative fundraising activities with others. Your ideas may motivate others to get involved. To register, download our teacher resources, or to learn more about CODE and Project Love, visit: www.codecan.org
