Cana Communities began as De Porres House in 1975 and has continued under the name Cana Communities Inc since 1995. Working in inner Sydney, the organisation has set up overnight shelters and homes. Cana has also recently partnered in a western Sydney farm project.
Our focus is on people who are most in need, who are suffering from loneliness, mental illness, addictions, homelessness and other factors which alienate them within society. Those with the fewest options and who are most alienated are our special care.
The organisation is mostly run by volunteers, and is solely reliant on donations from the community. Cana Communities receives no government funding, and so is grateful for your support.
