What we care for
New life for children in a new land
At our organization, we focus on helping newcomer children to grow both mentally and physically. To achieve this, we offer a comprehensive ethnocultural education program that provides children with the ability to communicate in their native language. Additionally, we provide a range of sports programs such as soccer and basketball to help engage children in healthy activities. Our programs are specifically designed to help newcomer children adjust to their new environment and build strong foundations for their future development and growth. Through our efforts, we hope to help these children feel at home and provide them with the skills they need to reach their full potential.
Respecting everyone's cultural values is important to us
Keeping cultural practices alive is one of our main objectives. Thus, we organize various cultural events such as Eid al-Adha, Yalda Night, Nowruz, etc. Furthermore, we attend and support multicultural events organized by other organizations. To eliminate prejudices that lead to violence and hatred, we educate residents of our communities about cultural values. We also encourage our youth to take part in these activities to show them that cultural diversity should be appreciated and celebrated. We invite people from all backgrounds to join us in our events to promote cultural understanding and respect.
Bringing dreams within reach for children
The underprivileged children do not have access to required financial help and resources needed to live the life of their dreams. We help them with everything they’ll need to live their dreams.
