2026: SOME CHANGES TO HOW YOU DONATE

On January 1, 2026, Village of Love Canada transitioned our affiliation from Canada Africa Partnership (CAP) Network to Runnymede United Church.

We remain a secular organisation, but are now accountable to CRA through the Runnymede United Church charitable umbrella rather than through CAP Network. 

Why this new affiliation?

Village of Love Canada and Runnymede United Church both support Kijiji Cha Upendo (Village of Love) Children’s Project in Kenya. By affiliating with Runnymede, we not only strengthen our work with Village of Love, but we also cut our administration costs in half. Even more of your dollars will now reach the beneficiaries!

NOTE: Your 2025 tax receipt will come from CAP Network as in the past, but all your 2026 tax receipts will come from Runnymede United Church.

What does this change mean for how you donate?

SINGLE CREDIT CARD DONATIONS:

Use the DONATE NOW button. You will receive an automatic tax receipt from Runnymede United Church immediately.

MONTHLY DONATIONS: 

Any monthly donations through CAP Network have now been stopped. Early in January you will receive an e-mail with a link enabling you to set up monthly donations through Runnymede United Church. But you can renew your monthly donations now by clicking on the following link. You will need your credit card or bank information handy. DONATE MONTHLY
