2. Vision , Mission and Values!
• Vision
To foster a network of non-profits, volunteers, and donors to fight poverty
through community-led initiatives.

We aim to fulfill our vision through:

poverty.

We believe in supporting sustainable community-led projects that
permanently lift people out of poverty and build leadership, assessment,
administration, and physical skills that can help people create future
solutions independently.
3. Structure!
• EPN operates at a grassroots level; our team works together
in a democratic and closely collaborative manner.
• Our Chapters across Canada act as the foundational
fundraising and campaigning sources, which directly support
our Grassroots Projects.
• Our team of Officers are essential to the effective operation
of our communication, marketing, research, content creation,
and campaign planning, continually providing new ideas to
engage EPN members and outside communities.
• Our Board of Directors manages our administrative tasks,
along with our Grassroots Projects and Educational Initiatives
divisions, while offering support to our Officers and Chapters.
4. History
• EPN was founded on August 21st, 2006, by
students at McGill University, on a tri-pillar
structure of Education, “InReach,” and
Grassroots Projects. Within a few years, EPN
developed into an independent organization
apart from the university, bringing in
professionals as advisors and staff. Since then,
EPN has experienced growth and change
under different leaderships.
5. Impact

incentive for immunization or providing
subsidized bed nets to reduce malaria — can
end up having a massive impact on efforts to
reduce poverty, the authors note.
