ABOUT US

Driven by the belief in dignity, culture, and opportunity for every individual.

The Chin Community began arriving in Indianapolis in the early 2000s, fleeing military dictatorship in Burma (Myanmar). Adjusting to a new environment brought significant challenges, prompting community members to support one another in meeting basic social and human needs. In response, the Chin Community of Indiana (CCI) was established by the local Chin churches on July 20, 2002, to help our community navigate resettlement and integrate into local society.

Since then, our population has grown to over 35,000 as of 2023. After nearly two decades of dedicated service within the Chin community, CCI expanded its support in 2020 to include neighbors and other immigrant and refugee communities across Indianapolis.
