Providing Essential Support to Families in Need

We are committed to providing essential life necessities — food, clothing, supplies, and accessories — to individuals and families living in poverty or with low income. Our support is especially directed toward pregnant women and their young children from 0 to 5 years old, to give them a dignified and secure start in life.

Supporting Immigrants and Refugees for Successful Integration

We are committed to providing immigrants and refugees in need with the necessary education and guidance to facilitate their integration. Our services include language courses, job training, job search programs, translation services, and information programs about Canadian culture and daily life.

Providing Affordable Housing for Women in Vulnerable Situations

We are committed to providing below-market-rate housing for a fixed period to pregnant or single-parent women living in poverty, with low income, or in need. Our goal is to offer them a stable and secure living environment to promote their well-being and that of their children.

CIE is actively committed to building a future where everyone’s essential needs are met, fostering solidarity and inclusion.
