Open Arms – Canada

Following the significant influx of refugees arriving in Canada in 2021, NGI partnered closely with local businesses, community groups, and social service organizations to launch a comprehensive resettlement initiative. Our mission focused on helping these families transition smoothly into their new communities by addressing both immediate survival needs and long-term integration goals.

Beyond securing temporary and permanent housing, our teams provided fully furnished apartments complete with essential household items, appliances, and high quality winter gear to protect against the harsh Canadian climate. We also delivered culturally appropriate pantry staples to ease the stress of relocation from day one.

Recognizing that true stability requires financial independence, NGI implemented targeted employment assistance programs. We connected adult family members with local employers, provided professional resume workshops, and offered interview preparation guidance. Through these collaborative efforts, we helped many secure stable, meaningful employment, empowering them to build self-sufficient and prosperous futures. This coordinated response truly reflected the deep compassion and unwavering dedication of our partners in welcoming newcomers with dignity and respect.
