Cambodian Association of Illinois (CAI)
The Cambodian Association of Illinois (CAI) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, social service organization founded in 1976 by a group of Cambodian refugee volunteers in order to respond to the needs of Cambodians fleeing the tyranny, brutality and torture of the Khmer Rouge regime and resettling in Chicago. In 1980, CAI was formally incorporated as an independent non-profit organization.
All Cambodian clients are refugees or the children of refugees who escaped the atrocities of the Khmer Rouge's "Killing Fields" in which two million people perished. CAI is the only service provider in the Chicago Metropolitan area which provides bilingual programming to addresses the interrelated social and economic needs of the Cambodian American population.
