Supporting Nunavut’s communities by providing tools, education and fostering self reliance. 



COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT

  • Initiatives such as sewing groups, food security projects, and youth hunter groups demonstrate our commitment to fostering independence and reducing dependency.

ENCOURAGING SELF-SUFFICIENCY

  • We prioritize training rooted in traditional knowledge and resilience to foster self-reliance in every community member.
  • Our support includes creating conducive environments for community growth, supported by accessible funding.

Partners in Progress

As qanuqtuurniq means being innovative and resourceful, we are collaborating with organizations like the Qulliit Nunavut Status of Women Council and the Nunavummi Disabilities Makinnasuaqtiit Society, through grants and contributions. We empower Nunavummiut through initiatives like Youth Initiative Funding (YIF), and the Women and Girls’ and Men and Boys’ Initiatives Grants.
