WHO WE ARE

AIC strives to be a transforming presence in society.  Inspired by Christian values, we work mainly with women, locally and globally, and through empowering activities, so that together we can build a fairer world. AIC’s Mission is to combat all forms of poverty and exclusion, following the example of Saint Vincent de Paul and the teachings of the Church.
As an organization, AIC works at different levels: local, national and international. Learn more about the structure of our network.
