Welcome to Born to live (BTL)

Born to Live is a Canadian charity established in 2015. Our mission is to provide every child with the opportunity for a better future, guided by our core belief:

"Our responsibility, their right."

We believe every child deserves a fair chance at life, including the very basics: nutritious food, clean drinking water, clothing, and access to quality education. We work to break the cycle of poverty by providing hope and opportunities that empower children to build a brighter future.

In addition to education, we focus on the physical and emotional needs of children. Every child deserves to feel loved, valued, and secure. A nurturing environment shapes their confidence, giving them the courage to dream and the strength to pursue those dreams.

Your support can make a world of difference. Together, we can help send children to school, provide essential learning materials, and ensure they grow up in a safe, stable environment. Your contribution empowers them not just to survive, but to thrive and dream big.
