Inspiring stories
In 2015, the Chamandy Family Foundation was created in Montréal. It aimed to improve the day-to-day lives of children, and offer them hope for a better future. Many of the projects the Foundation supports assist youth who are experiencing homelessness : “The Chamandy Foundation commits to supporting children in all aspects of their development: education, rights, the fight against poverty, and health and well-being.” Other donors tell us why they have decided to give through the Foundation of Greater Montréal.
