Horizons of Friendship has completed hundreds of successful self-help community development projects including health services, clean water, food production, education, skills training, low-cost housing, community organization and advocacy initiatives. These endeavours have given entire communities the potential for self-sufficiency through training and income-generating opportunities. To date, Horizons of Friendship has raised over $65 million for development projects in Mesoamerica. This amount includes matching grants from the Canadian Government through the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA).


Our Resources Horizons can provide speakers and organize workshops on a wide range of themes. We also have a Resource Library that contains magazines, books, videos, and DVDs all available to the public.
