    The calls for support went out, the votes were counted, and Ellipsis Digital is pleased to announce this year’s winner of their Canada’s Worst Charity Website: CAUSE Canada. Canmore, Alberta’s CAUSE Canada is an international relief and development organization that has raised more than $45 million dollars over the past 30 years to assist people in West Africa and Central America. CAUSE Canada's programs have included the rehabilitation of former child soldiers in Sierra Leone, environmental initiatives such as West Africa's first sanitary landfill and the planting of more than one million trees in Guatemala, empowerment programs—literacy, business training and micro-credit support—for women, and most recently, work on the front lines in Sierra Leone to prevent Ebola.
