Heidi Hitchcock from Victoria BC was SD Canada's delegate to the SDIA meeting in Colombia in July 2008.

SD Canada was created as a charitable, non-profit organization in 1985 to support the social and humanitarian efforts of Subud members and their associates in Canada and around the world.  It is affiliated with Subud Canada, is run by a volunteer Board from across Canada and focuses on raising funds for its partner projects, educating Canadians about global development issues and engaging youth in development activities.

With an annual budget of between $30,000-$40,000 SD Canada participates in the international SD network and will support the following project partners in 2010 with grants between $1500 and $5,000:

• Semillitas Amanecer, Colombia
• SD Project activities in Cuba
• Tierraviva, Argentina
• YUM Women's Microcredit Program, Indonesia
• Yaysan Tambuhak Sinta, Indonesia
  
• Abandoned Babies Project, Romania
• Lemba Imbu Community Health Clinic, D.R. Congo

SD Canada also raises donations for an unallocated Project Fund in order to meet unexpected requests that may come in during the year.  Detailed reports on SD Canada's activities in 2007, 2008 and 2009 can be found in the annual reports below.
