Supporting people to improve their opportunities in life, especially those who are living on low incomes.
Sustainable Livelihoods Canada (SLC) is a national, not-for-profit social enterprise dedicated to promoting the Sustainable Livelihoods (SL) approach, a holistic strength-based framework for moving people towards social and economic inclusion.
We are part of a Canadian movement encouraging fresh thinking and practical strategies for change in the social and economic development sector.
