Our goal is to assist immigrants and refugees in their settlement and integration by offering creative, innovative programs that respect their cultural and linguistic backgrounds. We foster inclusive spaces for dialogue where everyone can thrive and actively engage in the host society.
Government funding does not cover all our activities. With your support, we can continue helping immigrants and refugees establish stable and fulfilling lives in Quebec.
Your contribution truly makes a difference!
Stand Together to Support Families Affected by the Earthquakes in Venezuela
On June 24, 2026, powerful earthquakes struck northern Venezuela, dramatically changing the lives of thousands of people. In just a few moments, families lost their homes, their sense of security, and, for some, their loved ones.
More than 2,000 people have lost their lives, 680,000 children are in urgent need of humanitarian aid, and more than 50,000 people are still missing.
Today, the needs are urgent: shelter, food, clean drinking water, medical care, and support to help communities rebuild.
In the face of such a tragedy, every act of kindness matters. Even a modest donation can bring comfort and hope to a family working to rebuild their lives.
True to its mission of welcoming and supporting those in need, the Centre social d’aide aux immigrants (CSAI) is joining this humanitarian effort. Since 1947, our organization has been helping people in vulnerable situations, and today we are extending that support to those affected by the earthquakes in Venezuela.
CSAI is therefore launching a fundraising campaign for the Venezuela Earthquake Relief Fund to support emergency aid and community recovery.
Donations collected will be distributed through the Venezuelan community in Montreal to their families, loved ones, and communities in need affected by the earthquakes in Venezuela.
We invite you to contribute according to your means. Every donation is an act of solidarity that reminds those affected that they are not alone.
Together, we can bring hope, compassion, and support to the people who need it most.
Since February 2023, CSAI has operated a temporary shelter for refugee families at 5685 Rue Laurendeau—made possible by your generous donations.
🏠 This facility offers a secure and welcoming environment for approximately 21 days, giving families time to transition to permanent housing.
In October 2023, CSAI awarded 10 university scholarships of $1,000 each to outstanding international students.
These initiatives would not have been possible without your support. Your contributions turn vision into tangible, compassionate action. Every donation helps build a more inclusive, supportive, and welcoming society.
