WE NEED YOUR HELP

When U of T professor Cynthia Goh thinks about making the world a more equitable place, lighting comes to her mind. Drawing on her own experience of growing up in the rural Philippines without electricity, she is well aware of how transformational a special solar-powered lamp - created by her team - can be.

Cynthia's story is just one of many that drive innovation at U of T. Student and faculty creators are combining their personal experiences with brilliant ideas to address pressing problems in the Toronto region, in Canada, and around the world. But they need your help. Your support is critical to their ability to address some of the most rampant inequities on our planet.

WHAT'S THE GREATEST BARRIER TO HELPING THE POOREST OF THE POOR? REACHING THEM.

Innovative solutions to poverty are being launched in local communities around the world. If they aren't documented, however, these solutions stay local, helping only relatively few. Through the Reach Project, teams of student researchers study select successful initiatives. Their final reports are like how-to manuals, allowing successes to be repeated around the world.

Working with renowned researchers to tackle the world's greatest challenges is a hallmark of a U of T education. Please use this form to make a donation today to support extraordinary experiential learning experiences like the Reach Project at U of T.

I’m so grateful for the generous support I’ve received from donors like you. My master’s research at UTSC explored how participating in activities of daily living, including shopping and managing a budget, may delay the functional decline associated with early dementia.

In my doctoral work, I’m developing an instrument to measure this resiliency and comparing scores with changes in the brain on magnetic resonance imaging. Quantifying this resiliency may have important implications for identifying those at a greater risk for functional decline and extending the independence of men and women with Alzheimer’s disease and other neurodegenerative disorders.

I hope my research can help improve the quality of life of people struggling with dementia and ease the burden on families and caregivers.

Thank you again for making this important research possible.
