Emmanuel International Canada (EICanada or EIC) is a non-governmental, non-profit, evangelical Christian relief organization whose purpose is to strengthen and assist local churches in developing countries to holistically meet the social, physical, emotional and spiritual needs of their communities. == History ==
Emmanuel International (EI) is Emmanuel International Canada’s parent organization and was founded in 1975 by George Middleton and Dorothea Middleton, a couple who were former missionaries to Ethiopia. During the early 1970s, Ethiopia was devastated by the Wollo Famine. While the Middletons were in the country, they became aware of the effective contribution young people together with local churches could make for eradicating the cycle of poverty, and formed EI for the purposes of putting this vision into action.〔(), “About EIC: Our Story.” ''EICanada''. Emmanuel International Canada.〕 In the early days of the organization, EI was involved in sending teams of trained young people overseas to assist relief efforts in developing countries such as Ethiopia and Guatemala. The organization quickly branched out their humanitarian work to include community development and sustainability projects in countries such as Jamaica, Haiti and Dominica. Over time, EI expanded its humanitarian efforts across the globe, and currently has active projects in 8 countries worldwide, including 5 in Africa. Since its inception, Emmanuel International and its national offices have built a reputable track record of bringing hope to millions of people in desperate circumstances.〔 EICanada was formed in 1983 as a national office of Emmanuel International. EICanada functions as a recruiting, fundraising and promotional agency for the overseas work of the whole organization.〔
