What’s the connection between firewood and freedom? Join Manitoba Council for International Cooperation for a one-hour webinar celebrating the recipients of the 2026 Development Impact Awards. This special conversation will feature World Vision Sri Lanka and Canada, highlighting their work in the community of Bogawantalawa. Through a strategic combination of innovative cooking stoves and women-led agriculture initiatives, the project has helped address long-standing barriers facing women and strengthened women’s leadership and decision-making power within the community. Discover how something as simple as a cooking stove can become a catalyst for women’s empowerment and sustainable community impact. Register to attend and learn more about this inspiring initiative.
