Our Vision

"The Under The Same Sun Fund exists to promote the wellbeing of persons often disadvantaged by disability and/or poverty. The organization wishes to provide a variety of supports and resources to those most often marginalized and misunderstood. We are driven by the belief that all people have been created in the image of God and thus have intrinsic value and are accordingly worthy of love and support. The Fund will support causes globally that meet these objectives and are approved by the Board of Directors."

Our History

The Under The Same Sun Fund is a Canadian federally registered non-profit organization founded in 2008 by Peter Ash (who is himself an albino), who also acts as Chairman of the Board for the fund. Peter is a passionate philanthropist and entrepreneur, holding an undergraduate degree in Theology and a Graduate degree in psychology. Peter's background includes a decade of work in church ministry and subsequently a decade in business. Peter also has albinism, a genetic condition which results in significantly reduced vision. As a result of Peter's faith background and his own disability his heart drives him to do whatever he can to provide resources to assist those most disadvantaged by disability, discrimination and poverty. The goal of the fund is to provide resources which allow these people groups to increase their quality of life and gain increased independence.  Assisting Peter in this endeavor is his brother Paul Ash who resides in Winnipeg.
