MEET THE FOUNDER

Melissa Bazely

At the young age of 15, Melissa went to the Dominican Republic for humanitarian work. A few years later, having lived there on and off, she inspired the Ontario Home Builder’s Association to rally 189 Ontario homebuilders and volunteers to take on a massive home building project in one of the most desolate areas of the country. With Melissa’s lead, this initiative would become the Builders For Change organization. Continuing to provide humanitarian support in the Dominican Republic, two additional trips were organized, completing more homes and partnering with Dove Missions, a much-needed Youth Development Center for children. Melissa did not stop there; her humanitarian work took her to Haiti, Mexico and parts of Africa.

Melissa also generously sponsored a young student from the Dominican Republic to come to Canada to pursue their post secondary education. That student is on their way to successfully completing their pursued studies. If it were not for Melissa’s love, perseverance and determination, those initiatives would not happen.
