Meet Our Small But Mighty Team
The clients we serve are diverse, so are we. Our team is made up of successful and dedicated changemakers from diverse backgrounds and cultures.
We share a strong passion and desire for helping immigrants in Alberta, Canada and vulnerable children and families in Burundi, Africa overcome barriers to succeed through education and entrepreneurship. Most of us have experienced challenges as immigrants, others are Canadians who help us teach our clients Albertan and Canadian etiquette to help them integrate and succeed.
Why we deserve your trust?
- We are a team of successful immigrants and Canadians with a strong passion for creating success around us,
- All of us call Edmonton, the City of Champions home; we are committed to makimg our city and Alberta a better place,
- We understand the challenges and barriers that immigrants and less privileged citizens face daily locally and beyond the borders; above all, we are able to propose solutions to address them,
- We speak your language (immigrant language): Help One Another Canada is officially bilingual; we provide our services in both English and French languages. However, thanks to our strategic partnership with the Cultural Interpretation Services for Our Communities (CISOC), we will offer some services in over 50 foreign languages and dialects,
- We have a solid understanding of Alberta business and nonprofit sectors,
- We have a strong and extensive network of successful professionals and organizations; so if we cannot help ourselves, we certainly know someone who will!
