About Us
Mamow Sha-way-gi-kay-win/The North-South Partnership for Children
is a developing partnership that represents the coming together
of First Nation Chiefs, Elders, youth and community members living
in remote communities in northwestern Ontario and caring individuals
and voluntary organizations based in southern Ontario.
The Partnership was formed in 2006 to improve the
quality of life of children and youth in remote First Nations
communities, by building a larger circle of caring for the children
and their families.
Vision
A future where children, youth and families in the remote First
Nation communities have their basic needs met and opportunities
to achieve their full potential while embracing their culture
and heritage as Aboriginal people.
