About Canadian International Community Association (CICA)

Canadian International Community Association (CICA) is a non-profit organization registered in Ontario, Canada. CICA provides educational, humanitarian, community development, and recreation programs to people in need.

CICA is an international humanitarian development NGO established in 2019 in Ontario, Canada to play a vital role in humanitarian and development settings, and to contribute towards peacebuilding in the country where the people can live in amity and harmony.

Educational programs are vital in every society, especially in less developed countries or countries that are impacted by war. Through education members of society become self-reliant. Education enables individuals to make a positive difference in their homes, communities, and country.

CICA plays a key role in providing various training such as vocational training, agriculture, and other recreational programs. Our programs enable people to apply the skills they gain in their personal lives or at the workplace. Furthermore, these skills provide opportunities to people who are looking to get into the workplace, and the people who are already employed can benefit from the new skills at their workplaces to advance on personal and professional levels.

Humanitarian relief is another most needed service which CICA offers with the help of our generous donors. CICA helps people who are in need of food, drinking water, and other medical supplies. CICA's team members have great knowledge of the individuals and communities in need and the areas which are severely impacted by war and natural environmental causes. Through the help of our organization and humanitarian resources, we are saving the lives of many peoples who are in desperate need of help. Our support is making a life-saving difference in people's lives.

Community development is very important for every society because when members of the communities are self-reliant and independent, they could support their families and create opportunities for those who are less fortunate. So, that is why CICA is committed to delivering programs such as educational, community recreational, athletic, and other community development programs which directly make a positive difference within communities. Our programs help communities to develop and become self-reliant. CICA deliver services to all the people in need regardless of their gender, race, color, religion, or social status.
