• Welcome to Matoto

    We believe the gift of multiculturalism is what it teaches about humanity.
    Using the arts to channel the natural desire to connect in meaningful ways, we participate not through philanthropy but by invitation and with full recognition of others' unique experiences.

    We are a grassroots, non-profit society based in BC that aims to bring cultural and arts awareness to our community, to provide humanitarian aid to our friends in Guinea and around the world, and to provide fundraising to support to select charities in our community.

    As one of our board members put it, "We're a vehicle for good vibes." We like to think so.
