These goals were adopted by world leaders in September 2015 and implemented at the start of 2016. Over 150 countries have promised to work together to put the goals into action: to eradicate poverty, to end inequality, and to address climate change. Included in Canada’s commitment to the global goals, is the promise that that no one is left behind.

The SDGs build on the work of the former Millennium Development Goals (2000-2015). The new SDGs are unique in that they’re broader in their scope of ending all forms of poverty by calling for action by all countries, to promote prosperity while protecting the well-being of the Earth and all its inhabitants.

The SDGs are truly interconnected, and progress in one area is both linked to, and dependent on, action in others. Collaboration and partnership will be necessary to the success of all SDGs. Rayjon supported projects are working toward the following goals:

Rayjon’s programs and efforts focus on 5 main Global Goals:

SDG1: No Poverty

SDG3: Good Health and Well-Being

SDG4: Quality Education

SDG5: Gender Equality

SDG5: Gender Equality is a cross-cutting theme that Rayjon aims to support in all of our programs and activities.

SDG8: Decent Work & Economic Growth

SDG17: Partnerships for the Goals

Rayjon Share Care invites you to learn more about the SDGs and how you can get involved to see that these goals become reality by 2030. 

We also have many Volunteer Opportunities if you would like to get involved locally.
