La Vie Foundation (Canada)

About us

La Vie Foundation (Canada) started its journey in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada in 2001 while few university graduate students conducting a research on social resource mobilization.
La Vie Foundation, a Canadian Federally registered not-for-profit organization, is involved with the development of local communities and neighborhoods in Ontario, Canada and overseas. Presently, it operates in the greater Ottawa Region, and provides technical and financial assistance to grassroots and community organizations.
Part of the overseas operations, La Vie is operating in Bangladesh. It’s activities mostly serve religious minority women and children of Christians, Tribes, and Aboriginal populations located in different regions who have been struggling for their survival and livelihoods for decades together.

The mission of the La Vie Foundation is to bring positive changes in the local communities and to promote peaceful coexistence through socio-economic development.

La Vie envisages that the deprived community members can be empowered if they are privileged with a safe and peaceful environment including sound health, food security, proper education, and a drug free environment.

Our work
• In Canada, La Vie Foundation is saving kids from drug abuse, offering an online functional language course (OFLC), and promoting social enterprise.
• At the same time La Vie is supporting Bangladeshi minority groups on children education, women empowerment, and saving environment.
• La Vie has initiated some exceptional but vital projects which were not initiated by some other NGOs in Bangladesh.
• For example, it has expanded its projects to boost up some future leaders.
• La Vie is also contributing to save environment through supplying 'Bandhu Chula' (friendly cooking burner) that consumes about 10% wood in comparison to conventional village cooking burner thus it lowers emission considerably which doesn't have any health problem.
• Additionally, La Vie is working and providing assistance for local conflict management and displacement due to the environmental changes.
• Furthermore, La Vie is helping floating people (who live on boat in their whole life) and also focusing on sustainable economic and financial development programs for the women in particular.
