The Janeway
The Janeway Children’s Hospital Foundation is a registered Canadian
charity with a mandate to raise funds to benefit the health care of the
children of Newfoundland and Labrador from the unborn infant to
children
up to the age of 18 years old. The success of the Janeway
Foundation is due to the overwhelming support of the people of
Newfoundland and Labrador. The Foundation is your way of supporting our

our children.
World Vision
The focus of the World Vision (WV) organization is divided into five major areas: emergency relief, education, health care, economic development, and promotion of justice. World Vision activities include transformational development, emergency relief, strategic initiatives, public awareness campaigns and promoting Christianity. Though World Vision has consultative status with UNESCO and partnerships with UN agencies like UNICEF, WHO, UNHCR and ILO, its financial records reveal that it has funded evangelical activities all over the world.
