VISION, MISSION & VALUES

Our Vision

Our Mission

LINCCO, the Institute for Culture and Cooperation, gives Canadians the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of people in developing countries, helping them gain skills that allow them to contribute to their family and society. It is a registered Canadian charity founded in 1984.

Our values

We believe that the long-term solution to poverty lies in skills development and education that allow individuals to contribute to their personal and family development, as well as to that of their society.

Character formation and civic virtues are key parts of skills development and education.

The family is the basic building block of society. Every attempt to contribute to society must support families.

Men and women are entitled to the same respect, which includes equal valuing off work within and outside the home.

LINCCO’S activities operate according to Judeo-Christian values and the social teaching of the Catholic Church.
