#CanadaCares

Canadian aid saves lives, builds robust health systems, and defends the human rights of women and girls. To tackle global challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic, all countries must work together, and Canada must do its part. We're asking International Development Minister Karina Gould to step up Canada's efforts in the global response to COVID-19. We need your voice to make sure our message is heard loud and clear.
