BHP makes transformational donation to YWCA Saskatoon’s Hope Lives Here Campaign
13 Fevereiro 2024 - 12:36PM
BHP and YWCA Saskatoon are pleased to announce a $500,000
investment from BHP to YWCA's Hope Lives Here campaign. In 2022,
YWCA Saskatoon’s Crisis Shelter & Residence turned away a
staggering 4,253 women and children in need. Hope Lives Here is the
organization’s largest capital campaign ever. With a fundraising
goal of $19 million, the campaign is funding a new transitional
housing wing that will more than double YWCA Saskatoon’s capacity
to provide women and children with a safe place to stay. It will
also contribute to funding much needed existing facility repairs
and renovations.
BHP’s investment will go toward YWCA Saskatoon’s
Employment and Learning Centre, a place where clients have access
to programs and services that help them obtain sustainable
employment. This generous gift will contribute directly to building
a stronger, healthier community through helping women and families
access the resources, programs and services needed to help them
build stable foundations.
YWCA Saskatoon gave their heartfelt thanks to
BHP for this extremely generous donation.
“From providing safe shelter, to our comprehensive
employment programs, this transformational gift from BHP will
directly contribute to helping YWCA Saskatoon serve women and
families in need, giving hope to those who need it most,” said Cara
Bahr, CEO of YWCA Saskatoon. “We are so very grateful for their
generosity.”
“The YWCA Saskatoon is providing critical work that
creates positive and lasting impact for so many in our city,” said
Karina Gistelinck, Asset President of BHP Potash. “Access to
training and courses opens doors and a new world of opportunity.
Through the Employment and Learning Centre the YWCA is playing an
important role in bringing access to people when it is most
needed.”
Since 2015, BHP has contributed over $50 million to
community organisations and initiatives in Saskatchewan. These
contributions are driven by BHP’s fundamental belief that success
is achieved through community partnerships that create lasting
mutual benefit.
