BEYOND BORDERS | A BARRICK GOLD REPORT ON RESPONSIBLE MININGdrive responsible mining cultureEvery year, Barrick invests millions of dollars in programs designed to improvequality of life for the communities where it operates. Inspired by this work, employeesare finding ways to personally contribute to these communities, whether close tohome or in developing countries where poverty is endemic.This year, a group of Barrick employees in Toronto joined forces to make thatpossible. They created CanEducate, an independent charitable organization thatwill provide educational sponsorships to impoverished and at-risk children incommunities where Barrick operates. In its first fundraising campaign, thisemployee-driven program raised close to $100,000 through staff donations andmatching funding from the company. The money will help children in remotecommunities around the Bulyanhulu and Buzwagi mines in Tanzania, whereevery year thousands of kids are turned away from secondary school becausethey cannot afford to pay fees.March 201137
