What is ANCOP?

ANCOP International Canada, Inc. is a duly registered Canadian charity dedicated to uplift the lives of poor families in developing countries through shelter, child education, and humanitarian relief. We aim to restore the poor’s hope and dignity, organizing them into sustainable and self-reliant communities through livelihood assistance, values formation, and community empowerment.

Currently we operate in the Philippines, India, and several countries in Africa including Kenya, Ghana, and Nigeria. We are primarily supported by donation from individuals, groups, and corporate partners.

ANCOP, an acronym for “Answer the Cry Of the Poor”, is a non-profit founded by Couples for Christ (CFC).  CFC is a global lay organization recognized by Vatican for its work on the renewal and strengthening of Christian family life and values. It is present in over 100 countries around the world.

What is the ANCOP Walk?

The ANCOP Walk is a global annual event of ANCOP that raises funds for its SHELTER, CHILD SPONSORSHIP, and HUMANITARIAN RELIEF programs.  It is faith in action!  Individuals and groups participate in the walk, generously giving donations or helping solicit funds for ANCOP.  Kids, youth, adults, and seniors join together to walk for the poor and rally the public to support the cause.

In Canada, the ANCOP Walk is conducted simultaneously in various locations around the country.  For 2016, most of the walks will be held in the month of August. Sixteen cities and areas are expected to participate: Toronto, Ottawa, Windsor and Hamilton in Ontario; Vancouver, Victoria and Whistler in British Columbia; Montreal in Quebec; Calgary, Edmonton, Lethbridge and Fort McMurray in Alberta; Saskatoon and Regina in Saskatchewan;  Winnipeg in Manitoba and Yellowknife in the Northern Territories!

Come join us as we walk for the poor!
