We help children of all backgrounds, even in the most dangerous places, inspired by our Christian faith. Together we can protect children today, and empower them for tomorrow.

In a world of crises, the calls for change are endless.

4worldlovers: Our mission is to build and nurture children from disadvantaged communities through the power of education. We believe that education is the key to providing freedom, hope, empowerment and opportunity to children that are “born into” poverty.

Without you, a child cannot choose between law, math or medicine - instead of sex slavery and manual labour

Without your investment, a teacher will feel defeated by a broken education system

Without your donation, a child living in a slum remains in the cycle of poverty

For $4000, you can spend your summer in India, teaching spoken English

Mukti means freedom. At Mukti Volunteer Village, we believe education is the key that unlocks the door to freedom.

Founded in 2013, we are a strong team of volunteers, donors, and teachers who help provide a holistic education to children from disadvantaged backgrounds. Equipped with the ability to read and write, these children, coming from extreme poverty, are equipped with the confidence to one day get respectful jobs and earn sufficient wages. It is our hope that they can live life independently with the means to support themselves and their families on a long-term basis.

Orijeet has worked with Amitabh at Sonagachi red light area. Working closely with India and Canadian teachers, Orijeet co-ordinates volunteers teaching spoken English and Indian teachers teaching Math and English. Orijeet coordinates online curriculum & assessment tools, along with personalized lesson plans for the children. He plays a significant role in tracking the progress of every child who are following the Mukti Math and English curriculum.

4worldlovers:

While donations are genuinely needed and welcomed, we ask you to consider that container space is at a premium (no furniture please) and whether your item is something a mother in a developing country in need can use to survive and support her children.



To the extent possible please, ensure donations are packed and labelled separately by category: ie. food with food, clothing with clothing.


Thank you and may God bless you for your support of the poor across the globe.

“Our mission is to give every person on earth the opportunity to develop their soul. To allow them the health to go to school and work to live a life of dignity, to be protected from abuse, to freely choose the faith they wish to follow. I would like to help the poorest of the poor in the world.”

As we follow in the footsteps of St. Teresa of Calcutta and in the spirit of St. Francis of Assisi we prepare to go forward in another new year of service to God and to the poor of this earth. We are happy that even in their retirement, Andrew and Joan Simone faithfully remain as spiritual advisors, volunteers and benefactors of this charity they founded over thirty years ago. Thank you to each and every one of you for your prayers, many wonderful gifts and your generous donations. You have helped to ease unimaginable suffering and given hope, love and life to countless little ones. Together we will continue to help feed the hungry children of the world. We wish everyone a Blessed Christmas and hope you will join us in the joyful celebration of the Christmas Mass to be held in the warehouse.

Canadian Food For Children is a registered charity with the Canadian government. Our goal is to feed the poor. All donations collected go towards feeding the poorest of the poor in developing countries throughout the world. Each dollar that you donate can provide 20 nutritious meals. Virtually all work for at the charity is undertaken by volunteers.

Joan and Andrew Simone started working with Blessed Mother Teresa in 1980. In 1981, Mother Teresa requested that they send food to the poor in Tanzania and Ethiopia where people were suffering from malnutrition due to severe drought. Food could not be purchased there and therefore the food they sent was a tremendous blessing. With the approval of Mother Teresa, CFFC became an official charity in 1985 and presently sends food to 18-22 developing countries throughout the world. The teachings of Jesus in the Gospels and their Catholic faith inspire them to do this work.
