Who We Are

January 23, 2007

We, the Chaldeans of the United States of America, are the descendents of the ancient inhabitants of Mesopotamia-today’s Iraq. We are Catholics who speak Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus Christ. Our ancestors adapted Christianity in its early decades.

We, do hereby the establishment of a community based charitable, educational, and humanitarian relief organization. The Federation is a non-profit organization designated 501 (C) (3) entity.

Our current focus is to provide the following:

• Help settling thousands of Chaldean refugees outside Iraq to country of permanent residency and providing humanitarian relief while they are in the waiting

• Provide humanitarian relief for our displaced people inside Iraq

• Help establishing a secure province in Northern Iraq where displaced Chaldeans may relocate

• Support advocacy issues that affect our Chaldean American Community

• Hold annual scholarship grants and commencement for the new Chaldean graduates

We affirm our belief in the United States and its Constitution. Since all Chaldeans around the globe are integral part of the Chaldean Community, the Chaldean Federation of America shall extend these objectives for all the Chaldeans through out the world.

Year 2007 marks the 25th anniversary of the Chaldean Federation of America founding.

The CFA is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. We were founded in 1981.
