Human Concern International Organizes Fundraiser for Indigenous Communities This Saturday

40% of Indigenous children are living in poverty, two and a half times more than non-Indigenous children. Not only are these children more impoverished, but they are also more likely to have a lower level of education, unclean water, become homeless, and commit suicide. The risk for Indigenous children is shocking and real, and they need our help.

Join Human Concern International (HCI) in Ottawa, Ontario on Saturday, February 2nd at 6 pm with speakers Dr. Zijad Delić, Cindy Blackstock, a Gitxsan activist and Executive Director of he First Nations Child and Family Caring Society of Canada, and Waneek Horn Miller, a Mohawk Olympic gold medalist who is active in the movement to address the issue of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls in Canada.

The speakers will discuss the challenges facing Indigenous peoples in Canada and how we can offer support.

HCI will also be presenting "Making a Positive Difference" Awards to inspirational Canadian women.
