Our story

Our Values

ANCI exists to support individuals and families while keeping Assyrian heritage, language, and tradition alive for future generations.


1970's
A Culture of Survival

Growing instability in Iraq forces many Assyrian families to flee their homeland in search of safety and stability. Thousands would later resettle in Chicago, home to one of the largest Assyrian communities outside of Iraq.


1985
ANCI is Founded
