About ISSA
With the growth of Muslim population in North America, many social issues are developing which need immediate and professional attention. As individual communities struggle to meet the needs of their communities in the area of social and family services it is of paramount importance that a national organization be established.
At the annual conference of Muslim Social Services May 1999 in Virginia, the Islamic Social Services Association (ISSA) was founded and a board was appointed to carry out the objectives of ISSA.
Subsequently, separate non-profit corporations in the USA and Canada were incorporated having their own voluntary board of directors for services to be delivered in the U.S.A and Canada respectively. These two boards of directors work together on projects and a joint management committee has been set up with an Executive Director.
...is a charitable voluntary organization established in 1999. It is governed by a voluntary Board of Directors and managed by an executive committee.
Canadian Society is inclusive and has a strengthened Muslim Community where cultural and ethnic groups, and their members’social, cultural, spiritual and economic well-being is fundamental.
Each person’s potential is achieved by accessing and receiving culturally, linguistically and spiritually appropriate health, social and economic services and supports.
In collaboration with and integrated into mainstream human services, we provide family, health, and social welfare services, inclusive of the many cultural and ethnic groups that comprise our Muslim community in Manitoba and Canada.
ISSA facilitates bridges, navigates advocates, collaborates, educates and builds awareness, and provides direct services and supports to individuals and communities by collaborating and integrating into mainstream health and social services.
