Shania Kids Can

About the cause

After growing up in poverty and isolation, Shania Twain created her own nonprofit to address the needs of primary school children who are typically overlooked by social assistance programs. Working with individual school boards, Shania Kids Can creates a safe and discrete space at school where kids can go to receive the essentials they need. Lovingly referred to as “SKC Clubhouses,” these designated classrooms are managed by professional staff who are dedicated to providing educational, nutritional, therapeutic and extra-curricular support. They can also receive field trip expenses, basic hygiene tools, school supplies and clothing items in confidence. Further help can be found at SKC’s after-school program which includes other key support elements such as musical, writing and artistic development, practical life skills, vocational training and assistance from a therapist. In the words of Shania, “By supporting these children at a primary age, by teaching them to become responsible, confident, proactive members of their school community, they will have a much better chance at personal success in the future. These children will grow to be adults who are in a better place and position to contribute positively to society.”
