Kairos
Development
Mission
KADEM exists to seek the holistic and contextual development of people of color in Canada and the disadvantaged in the developing world through medical and educational initiatives.
Kairos Development Mission (KADEM) is a non-for-profit international development charitable organization based in Canada with a field office in Ghana, West Africa.
It comprises primarily passionate professionals of African descent, who are convinced that the time has come for Africans to rise up and bring change in the lives of people of color in Canada and the underprivileged in the developing world, especially the continent Africa.
KADEM believes that the holistic and contextual development is a core necessity in human life. Notwithstanding the above, KADEM also seeks to work with partners irrespective of race or origin, with or without links to Africa who share in its vision and mission.
In 1996, Rev James McKeown Quainoo, then a student and Missions Coordinator at Regent College, Vancouver, founded Global Kairos Foundation (GLOKAF), primarily to organize “Vision Conferences” in Ghana and use that forum to sensitize and mobilize leadership towards holistic development through the church.
This and the mobilization of medical supplies were promoted in collaboration with Food for the Hungry, Samaritan’s Purse and World Vision to various health clinics and hospitals in Ghana including Alpha Medical Center, now Pentecost Hospital in Madina, near Accra, Ghana.
A two-week medical mission to Asamankese took place on September 12 – 24, 2022.
