45 years of HCI

Who We Are

Human Concern International: Working for your Cause since 1980

Founded in 1980, Human Concern International is Canada’s first Muslim relief organization. With millions in aid delivered, thousands of orphans sponsored, and countless lives saved, we remain dedicated to building a more just and equitable world. Guided by our mission — From Crisis to Sustainability — we respond to global challenges and help communities thrive beyond immediate relief.

Irfan Shaikh, Chair of the BOD, reflects on 45 years

As I get older, I prefer consistency and reliability in the organizations I support. My experience with HCI has been smooth—everything, including my donation receipts, arrives on time. So far, so good!

I have been donating through HCI since the start of the Afghan War, and my experience has been excellent. I receive all my receipts and timely updates on my contributions. It’s truly fulfilling to see our donations making a meaningful impact.
