About Us

HISTORY

Parrainage Tiers Monde was officially launched in early 1979 by Sr. Androla St-Onge, f.m.a., then in charge of the Missionary Office of the Diocese of Edmundston, NB. Its goal was to highlight the International Year of the Child in the Third World.

​

In 1985, the International Year of Youth, Parrainage Tiers Monde became a separate agency from the Missionary Office and was therefore recognized as a charitable organization under the name of "Parrainage Tiers Monde Inc.’’

​

In 2019, this international project celebrates its 40th anniversary by still offering help to the most disadvantaged children of our world.
