Mazava’s goal is to develop a series of projects able to provide isolated people with medical supplies and medical services. The Leaders we are supporting include:
Savoka’s goal is to develop a series of projects able to provide support to people living in and around unique ecosystems in their efforts to protect species-at-risk and cultures-at-risk.
Kick Start: Project designed to help Canadian youth learn to use computers and video technology to convert their ideas into self-employment opportunities. Of the 20 youth participants in the Kick-Start Project, 65% became self-employed in industries related to computers and TV/film.
Rukundo: A refugee outreach program helping refugees settle and develop new skills.
Infostructure: Project aimed at building information infrastructure in under capitalized communities in Toronto. Designed to improve access to the Internet and new media.
Nature Network: Twenty young Canadians travelled to Madagascar to work with Malagasies on researching and developing ideas to help protect Madagascar`s unique eco-systems.
Cultural Export: A six month project aimed at developing export markets in the Indian Ocean for Canadian culture.
World Heritage: A pilot project aimed at protecting unique eco-systems in the Indian Ocean. The goal is to create two World Heritage Sites: one in a primary forest; another in a marine ecosystem.
EVE has worked with various partners, including The Idea Bank (a Canadian company which develops and brokers ideas) to develop information infrastructure (Infostructure) in undercapitalized areas in Canada and abroad designed to protect, develop and disseminate ideas for health, peace and sustainable development.
Some non-profit ventures include:
HOOD Ecologic: Environmental action group operated by young girls living in Toronto's housing projects, using video production as a means to develop and maintain participant interest.
Famelona: Preserving biological knowledge of traditional healers in Madagascar through the use of new media.
Hyper Link for Technology Transfer: A media literacy program offered to youth from areas where drug trafficking is prevalent. This venture was developed by two participants involved in the Infostructure Project.
Umugenzi for Refugees: A volunteer program assisting senior citizens and consumer/survivors, which was developed from the Rukundo Project.
