Empowering Change Through Action:

Building Brighter Futures Across Canada.

International Center for Family Welfare (ICFW) was created in 2015 by a group of informed women & men who saw the need of building cohesive families and amplifying female & male voices beyond societal boundaries to stand up for equality and equity for men, women, girls, children, youths, 2SLGBTQIA+ people and other vulnerable populations. Over the years, we have grown in scope and impact, collaborating with community leaders, activists, and partners driving towards a positive change.
