About Vivek Educational Foundation of Canada (Vivek Canada):
Vivek Canada is a registered charity since January 2006 based in Surrey, BC , Canada. ICA Vancouver designated Vivek Canada as Friends of India in Vancouver. Vivek Canada is providing free elementary education to the boys and girls in the remote jungles of district Pilibhet, UP. India. Vivek Canada started their schools in thatched grass huts but now all of them have all weather lockable brick rooms. They always hire female teachers from the same village to encourage more girls to come to schools. They also give school supplies, clothes and shoes to the children. They also provide funds for small job creation projects such as backyard poultry farms, sowing schools and garment making.
