Alberta Immigrant Women & Children Centre

Alberta Immigrant Women & Children Centre (AIWCC, previously, Somali Canadian Women and Children Association – SCWCA) is a non-profit organization that recognizes responses to and focuses on the unique concerns and needs of immigrant and refugee women, girls and their families. AIWCC’s uniqueness is based on having a narrow gender-related mandate, which has provided best practices in developing customized female-focused initiatives. These initiatives always include children and youth well-being as important outcomes of our engagement. AIWCC has made the transition to Canada more comfortable, pleasant and successful for many immigrant women, children and youth.
