Omugwo is the traditional after-birth care practiced by Igbo people. It involves postpartum care given to new mothers usually by their mothers or mothers-in-law, during the first 40 days of a newborn’s life. ICAE has a committee that is tasked with supporting ICAE families (who are registered members) who have new babies and toddlers (0 – 2 years old).

ICAE provides support to members aimed at resolving family disputes, as well as family-oriented programs to promote harmony in members’ homes.

Through our Humanitarian Services initiative, ICAE engages itself in the life of the wider Edmonton community. We collaborate with Social Services and other charitable associations to impact the quality of life of our members and the entire Edmonton society at large.

Through various targeted programs, ICAE ensures that our elders are not forgotten and that their valuable wisdom and lived experiences are harnessed and passed down to the next generation.

ICAE provides support to members who are newcomers to Edmonton. Support provided to newcomers include but is not limited to mentorship programs, accommodation arrangement, airport pickups, etc.

These include hospital visitation, prison visitation, and condolence visits to bereaved members.
