About This Cause
Human Concern International (HCI) is a Canadian, Federally Registered, charitable organization existing "to help alleviate human suffering" by Investing in Humanity. Since 1980 HCI has contributed over $90 million dollars towards facilitating Sustainable Development through long term development projects, and maintaining Human Dignity by providing immediate relief assistance to many poor and strife torn countries and to local causes in Canada. HCI's development projects have helped communities become more self-sufficient and the emergency assistance provided has helped communities during dire need. We have provided financial assistance Health Care, Agriculture, Human Resources Development, Relief and Public Education. We are working in 34 countries with regional offices and local partners. Around the globe we have sponsored over 2000 children. For as little as $30 a month, we have provided medical, educational and other basic needs to children up to the age of 16 years. In Canada we have assisted during the Manitoba Floods, Ice Storm in Eastern Canada and Quebec and with the B.C. Inferno Victims, provided food, clothing, shelter, medical services and educational services to the needy and homeless. WITH 95% OF FUNDS COLLECTED GOING DIRECTLY TO HCI RELIEF PROGRAMS, DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS, HCI stands firm in its resolve to extend a helping hand to all those who are suffering anywhere and everywhere around the world! At the same time, we will do absolutely what is expected of us to ensure that our services and resources are utilized for the benefit of humanity. Goals To provide dynamic leadership for implementing what we see as universal values founded on fundamental Islamic values by contributing to the alleviation of poverty and securing better socio-economic life for the disadvantaged groups through empowering them to depend on themselves and participate in the decisions concerning their own problems. These values are echoed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other United Nations human rights instruments. The freedoms and responsibilities inherent in them lead directly to tolerance, pluralism, gender equality, public dialogue and non-violence to settle disputes, respect for all people regardless of differing characteristics – all part of what we call “Canadian values”. Our focus is on eliminating poverty, improving livelihoods and social conditions, supporting gender equality, and encouraging participative practices. Important to all of this is strengthening civil society in other countries and building the capacity of individuals, organizations, institutions, community groups, associations and networks to bring change from within.
