When United We Can

At a young age Alina and Azaan came to realize the extent of of the existence of homelessness in downtown Chicago. In 2018, they created the United Peoples Group with a vision of providing support to homeless individuals in the Greater Chicago Area. Over the last 6 years, they gained a greater understanding of how marginalized communities and individuals were disproportionately affected by problems like homelessness. It was through this realization that they were able to focus their efforts and successfully raise over $64k, partner with Chicago based homeless shelters, and amass hundreds of volunteers.

The United Peoples Group exists to unite individuals from different backgrounds, communities, cities, ethnicities, and socioeconomic backgrounds and enact change within marginalized communities in Chicago, Toronto, and Austin.
