Mothers of Courage

RefugeRoot is a Canadian non-profit (Corporation No. 1734109-1), incorporated under the Canada Not-for-profit Corporations Act.

RefugeRoot is a mission-driven organization that turns compassion into practical, lasting solutions—protecting vulnerable children and strengthening communities through safe care, education (including music programs), food security, and sustainable livelihood projects led with trusted local partners.

We use clear budgets, receipts, and on-the-ground oversight to track every expense. We document results and share updates so you can see the impact. 90% of donations go directly to programs, and 10% supports essential coordination, compliance, and reporting.

We identify widows in need through trusted local partners and careful screening. We work with children’s homes, community leaders, and frontline caregivers who know the most vulnerable situations, then verify needs through basic assessments and, when possible, home or site visits. We prioritize cases where safety, health, nutrition, or access to education is at risk, and we re-check needs regularly to make sure support goes to the right children.

Not yet. We’re currently completing the administrative process with the CRA(Canadian Revenue Agency) to obtain registered charity status. Until that approval is granted, we cannot issue official donation receipts, so donations are not tax-deductible in Canada at this time.

Once approved, we’ll clearly announce it on the website and provide official CRA donation receipts for eligible gifts.
