HOW TO MAKE A DONATION
CHARITABLE REGISTRATION # 771422623RR0001
There are 3 ways you can support women and children through the YEG BUILT FOR LIFE FOUNDATION:
1.Contribute financially to our housing project!
Our primary goal is to accumulate enough donations to purchase a residence that we can transform into a safe home for women and children leaving domestic violence and abuse situations, with a long term goal of building a multi-complex women's shelter to accommodate the growing demand of safe shelter for women and children. We aim to establish a pet-friendly residence for families with pets they don't want to leave behind to eliminate a barrier that delays leaving abuse.

While returning to school may seem daunting, YEG BUILT FOR LIFE FOUNDATION encourages women to invest in themselves and their education.
