​Welcome to
Canadian Association ​for Participatory Development!

Embracing Communities

CAPD values inclusion and participation of Colombians disadvantaged by poverty and/or disability.  Many live in rural communities with limited resources and opportunities.  We assist them through participatory programs that motivate personal and community development. 

Our three program areas are Safe Water, Integration, and Education Assistance.

Safe Water

The Safe Water for Families Program provides BioSand filters to rural families living in village communities.
The Program has provided 9000 BioSand water treatment systems to families in Colombia.

Integration

CAPD supports Fandic, a Colombian organization dedicated to inclusion for children with disability through therapy, education, nutrition, entrepreneurship and recreation. 

Education

The Green Light Education Assistance program ​motivates children from low income families to stay in school by providing uniforms, shoes and school supplies. It also engages the students in entrepreneurship
and saving, and
environmental projects.
​The program is active in the departments of
​Santander and Guajira.

​​CAPD provides vulnerable people with the training​ and assistance needed to improve the quality of their life.
