Humanitarian Issues Promotion
Welcome!
Humanitarian Issues Promotion focuses on humanitarian values and action looking into such pressing humanitarian issues as the impact of conflict on children, the reunification of families separated by conflict and/ or disaster, global health issues such as malaria, and the many issues facing refugees both globally and here in Manitoba. Humanitarian Issues Promotion also focuses on youth, and developing the next generation of humanitarian leaders and global humanitarian champions through a leadership program that focuses on skills development training and taking action!
