Our Promise
We exist to make sure every immigrant story finds a home. The Immigrant Child Project (TICP) preserves cultural memory, spotlights diaspora innovators, and equips movers with practical relocation tools—so journeys are safer, voices are louder, and communities stay connected.
Why We Started
Across continents, we saw the same pattern: powerful stories untold, entrepreneurs unseen, and new arrivals repeating the same avoidable mistakes. TICP began as a living archive and support hub—built by immigrants and allies—to record our past, improve our present, and shape a better future for the next traveler.
