Who We Help

Women

"Whatever you give a woman, she will make greater...If you give her a house, she'll give you a home. If you give her groceries, she'll give you a meal. If you give her a smile,she will give you her heart. She multiplies and enlarges what us given to her........." Erick S.Gray

Women have always been the backbone of every society. No matter what they go through, their strength and resilience in life is nothing short of amazing. Yet women have to work twice as hard to be seen, five times as hard to be recognized , and ten times as hard as men to be acknowledged and accoladed.

At Borderless Humanity, we see women, we hear women,, we recognize women and we applaud women.That is how we came up with our SHARD program.

(S)eeing women
Borderless Humanity through our community programs and partners have developed ways in which to identify women in different situations. From conflict prevention and resolution, crime and trafficking, sexual and gender based violence, human rights, displacement, poverty and lack of education and training, we recognize that women face a multitude of challenges and we are working steadily on addresing them on a case by case basis with the understanding that every single woman's case is unique to her and and her current living situation.
(H)earing Women
Most of the women we encountered have already tried everything possible in their power to improve their situation but yet have met a dead end. At Borderless Humanity we try to resolve the hopelessness by listening to what they have encountered, providing and connecting them to an organization that can meet their challenges and help them improve their current situation. We also connect our clients with counselling to ensure that they are also working through the emotional pain that comes with each one of their struggles
(A)pplauding Women
With every milestone that they hit in their transformational process whether big or small, a member of Borderless Humanity is always there with each of our female clients to pat them on the back and encourage them to go forward. .
(R)ecognizing Women
From Awards to Certificates, our female clients receive the applause and recognition needed to know they are changing their own lives and the lives of others in their communities Some of our partner programs offer other rewards which when included with ours add up to a substantial award for a job well done.
(D)eveloping Women
Women in development is an approach of development projects that emerged in the 1960's calling for the treatment of women's issuses in development projects. It is the integration of women into the global economies by improving their status and assisting in total development.
Borderless Humanity recognizes the challenges women face on a daily basis and is therefore commited through our partners in providing the tools and resources necessary for women to continue to succeed in whichever field they set their goals and minds to. We also believe in women helping women and thus most of our graduated clients provide similar resources and aid to other women and members of their communities in order to help them overcome their challenges.

Children

Growing up in poverty, children face tough challenges: hunger and malnutrition, limited access to education and medical services, social discrimination and isolation, lack of after-school programs and mentors. Children in poverty are more likely to be exposed to the stress of violence, gangs and drugs. This can negatively affect brain development and long-term well-being. Borderless Humanity believes, we can help children get the health care, education, life skills, job-readiness training and confidence they need to create lasting change in their lives and communities. By geting involved in this vulnerable stage of their lives, Borderless Humanity helps children and youth set their own goals to build a life free from poverty, violence, crime and drugs. Children are our future and Borderless Humanity believes in investing in that future through our various partners and sponsorship programs. We are currently in the process of creating 4 new programs that would assist families.

These programs are
(1) Zero School Hunger: This program would provide families with schoolchildren meals or vouchers that are to be used for before, during and after school meals. This would ensure children in all public schools would not have to worry about food security at any time of the day.
(2) Never miss a beat: This program would provide reduced to free childcare (depending on the specific family situation) when a family needs to go for a job interview or is unable to find appropriate affordable childcare in order to go to or maintain their current employment work.
(3)Step Up: This program would provide mentorship and shadowing opportunities for our youth. It would require a signed commitment from the mentors and the youth for a specific amount of hours with facilitation provided by the mentors such as transportation as well as feedback to BH on the progress. At the end of the step up program the youth will be required to present an honest recap of their experience and how it changed their views on life and society and their place in society.
(4)BHARROW: Borderless Humanity is in the process of developing a reloadable card that families would be able to use for transportation during emergencies. This card would be accepted by all cabs and would have a code for Uber and Lyft that would clear their charges. This program would ensure kids are able to get to school as well as access the right medical attention when public services are unavailable or unattainable.

Immigrants

Immigrating to a new country can be very exciting but that excitement ends when immigrants are faced with language barriers, economic pressures, job insecurities or lack of jobs and loss of culture. Borderless Humanity intends to bridge this gap by connecting our immigrant clients with community partners as well as community translators and language educators. We intend to partner with community members who offer English as a second language(ESL) as well as be available to help when forms and applications need to be filled. Most immigrants say that this process is rarely explained to them and some of their main challenges include but are not limited to communication barriers, access to housing, access to health, access and understanding of the banking system and access to day to day services such as groceries.
Borderless Humanity intends to change that by explaining everything and being there for the immigrants every step of the way. We intend to partner with eve more community members so as to make the transition as smooth as possible.
From medical appointments to social services appointments to immigration lawyers to understanding how the laws and the systems work and enrolling in school and childcare, Borderless Humanity intends to be the bridge and the shoulder that smoothes the transition for immigrants,refugees and asylumseekers in their new found home environment.

Men

Men are rarely brought up in disussions of Human Aid, yet so many men struggle on a daily basis. Borderless humanity's EGO program was inspired by the the men who feel they are at war with themselves, the men who commit suicide in silence every day, men who feel defeated by all the daily pressures society places on them. We intend to highlight the plights of single father's, the increased depression and suicide rates in men aged 18-34 (Angus reid institute) and what it really means to be seen as a man by breaking down the traditional stereotypes of relationships, success and manhood.
