Development through Empowerment, Empowerment through Education
Community Ascent Network is a registered Canadian Charity
Become a Sponsor To Help a Student Graduate!
In the last 5 years, your support has helped us to build a high school, create jobs for local teachers and gives dozens of students access to an education.
This year's fundraiser is especially important!
Six Students from Piñán are now attending university and nursing programs, which will empower them to earn a living income, to create jobs in their village and to change the lives of their families. This could make a lasting impact on their whole community.
But we need your help so that these students can keep attending their programs!
By becoming a sponsor, you will help a family and student in extreme poverty to gain a life-changing opportunity.
Join us on September 14th for the 2nd Folk in the Forest fundraiser concert!
This year features six incredible Canadian and International artists including
Juno award winning Ian Tamblyn and Andean fusion group Colores Andinos.
Limited tickets are available, so don't hesitate!
WE SUPPORT COMMUNITY-DRIVEN PROJECTS
The Community Ascent Network works with the Indigenous community of Piñán, located in the Northern Andes of Ecuador.
We provide the community and its students with the resources to have access to secondary and post-secondary education. All of our projects have been community-oriented and directed since their start.
It is our mission to support the advancement of accessible education at the local level.
We believe each community knows their own way forward and the Community Ascent Network's role is to provide them the support and funding to help them get there.
OUR WORK
