The organization is committed to addressing these challenges by providing comprehensive support to refugees in Canada and beyond. Through its direct services, CKF aims to provide refugees with the resources and tools they need to rebuild their lives with dignity and independence.

​

The direct services offered by CKF include support for basic needs such as food, shelter, and clothing, as well as access to education and training programs.

As such, the organization offers a range of educational programs, including language courses, vocational training, and entrepreneurship training.

​

In addition to its direct services, CKF also advocates for policies and programs that support the rights and well-being of refugees. The organization works with local, national, and international partners to raise awareness about the challenges faced by refugees and to promote solutions that foster inclusion, sustainability, and resilience.
