As midsummer university graduation photos pop up across our social media feeds, we want to share some success stories with you, our donors.

Through your commitment to ADRA, you are part of bringing education to children in hard-to-reach and fragile places. But education is more than reading, writing, and arithmetic.

Hi! My name is Ray. I am delighted to join this incredible group of passionate teammates at ADRA. I’ve been here in Ontario for about a month (I moved from Montreal), and it is invigorating to be at the cutting edge of humanitarian work right here in Canada, where the need is great on so many fronts.
