Action Alert

CIDA cuts funding to KAIROS!

We are asking you to engage in an Urgent Action to request that CIDA reconsider its decision to terminate funding for overseas human rights work undertaken by KAIROS.

KAIROS, with its members, has a thirty-five year history of CIDA support and has recently worked with CIDA to align its foreign aid work with current government priorities. This disruption of funding impacts twenty-one foreign partners and will diminish Canada’s reputation as a reliable partner in development work.

We ask you to contact your Member of Parliament, working ecumenically if possible, to request a reversal of this decision.  We ask that you use a constructive,
respectful approach to elected officials and emphasise the importance of the work made possible by this funding.

Please read this document from KAIROS for a full understanding of the situation.
