Mission & Vision Statements
Our Mission
At Kate's Rest Foundation, we empower youth and homeless individuals in rural Ontario by providing safe shelter, mental health support, and skill development programs. Through our innovative hydroponic farming initiative, participants gain agricultural skills to launch their own businesses and secure stable housing. By fostering resilience, growth, and a strong sense of community, we aim to transform lives and create lasting positive change.
Our Vision
We envision a world where everyone has a safe and stable place to call home within a supportive community. At Kate’s Rest Foundation, we believe that every individual deserves the dignity and security of a home, along with access to opportunities and tools necessary to rebuild their lives. By fostering inclusivity and resilience, we strive to create an environment where people can regain hope, achieve self-sufficiency, and contribute meaningfully to their communities. Through our unwavering commitment to providing housing, resources, and support, we work towards transforming lives and building a future where no one is left without a home or a path forward.
Our Theory of Change
We believe that a sense of belonging is the foundation for personal transformation. When individuals find a place where they feel safe, valued, and connected, they gain the stability needed to focus on their growth and well-being. By fostering a supportive community and providing the resources necessary for self-improvement, we create an environment where people can overcome challenges, discover their potential, and strive to become the best versions of themselves. Through belonging, we unlock the power of resilience and the pathway to lasting change.
