PROGRAMS

PPP’s activities reflect the changing needs and issues facing peoples of the South Pacific as they work to establish peaceful and sustainable communities, livelihoods and futures. Working with our Southern partners, we work in solidarity with Pacific islanders by drawing on the resources available to us here in Canada. With the support of the Canadian government, church groups foundations, unions and generous donations from individual community members, we have built a dynamic array of programmes, and long-stranding relationships of common cause with groups in the Pacific and Canada.

Pacific Peoples’ Partnership has long recognized the commonalities of experiences and struggles shared among indigenous peoples of the South Pacific and the first peoples of Canada. Many of our programmes seek to facilitate links between these two groups in an effort to stimulate an exchange of ideas, experiences and strategies that will strengthen mutual efforts for change. While PPP programmes are driven by the needs of people in the Pacific, they offer opportunities for First Nations of Canada and indigenous peoples of the Pacific to explore their common concerns.
