Our broad objective is to advance education and alleviate poverty, food insecurity, and unemployment/underemployment. We aim to promote investments in the education of new immigrants, underserved populations, and low-income communities, supporting reskilling and upskilling efforts to improve economic and health outcomes. By engaging participants in innovative and meaningful educational projects, we seek to enhance their learning, qualifications, upward mobility, career advancement, and social integration. To alleviate poverty, we facilitate connections to job placement opportunities that help new immigrants and low-income individuals achieve economic stability. Recognizing that household food insecurity often results from limited resources, we address the interconnected challenges of poverty, unemployment or underemployment, and high housing costs, which are major contributors to food insecurity.
