The Chinese Benevolent Association
The Chinese Benevolent Association (CBA) is a community organization that provides support and services for Chinese immigrants and their descendants, primarily in cities with significant Chinese populations. Established in the late 19th century in North America, the CBA focuses on promoting the welfare of its members, preserving Chinese culture, addressing social issues, and advocating for their rights. The organization often organizes cultural events, offers educational programs, and assists with legal and social services, helping to foster a sense of community and belonging among Chinese individuals in their respective regions.
