WHAT WE DO

We share fraternal love by working with people from Canada and uniting our hearts into one goal. Our volunteers dedicate their time to spreading the word and engaging the Canadian community in the three projects we are currently focusing on. In Madagascar, Fraternity Without Borders Canada is committed to the EFOTAKE community, a village located 108 kilometers north of Ambovombe, through the Madagascar project. Our goal with this project is to provide food for approximately 170 children in this community.

In Malawi, we are engaging with the Ubuntu Choir, which is part of the project Ubuntu Nation, located next to the Dzaleka Refugee Camp. Fraternity Without Borders Canada is working with the project conductor, Raissa, a refugee from Congo, to enhance the Ubuntu Choir. The Ubuntu Choir was created to musically stimulate the refugees by singing and playing an instrument, increasing their well-being and a sense of purpose and strengthening their mental health.

In Brazil, children diagnosed with a rare disease called Epidermolysis Bullosa receive special treatment and care from the "Jardim das Borboletas" project in Caculé, Bahia. This disease, which strikes the skin, is severe, non-contagious and incurable, where even light friction on the skin can leave wounds equivalent to a third-degree burn. The Fraternity Without Borders- Canada (FWB-CA) participates by providing a much-needed special silicone dressing to treat their injuries and consequently help to relieve their pain through the Garden of Butterflies project.

HISTORY

Brazil - the origins
Fraternity Without Borders was founded in Brazil in 2009 by Wagner Moura. He was still a child when he cried over the world's hunger. That pain accompanied him through his youth and awakened the desire to help those in need. As an adult, he began volunteering in unprivileged areas in his city. However, that was not enough for him, Wagner wanted to do more for humanity, so he decided to go to Africa. From those early days until today, a series of fortunate events have left the marks of Fraternity and love in Africa and Brazil, helping Fraternity Without Borders build a better world.

Canada
Fraternity Without Borders was introduced to a group in Canada in 2017 by the international relations director, Andrei Moreira, who was visiting the country then. In November 2019, Fraternity Without Borders - Canada was officially created by a group of volunteers and then started its activities in Canada. Registered as a non-profit organization within Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada, FWB Canada is becoming a registered charity organization. Fraternity Without Borders Canada supports three projects: Madagascar Action, Ubuntu Nation and Garden of Butterflies.
