Scammers are pretending to be World Relief staff members. To protect yourself from scams, be vigilant about suspicious emails, texts, calls, or websites.
Refugee families that have fled war and persecution are now living in fear in the U.S. — fear of separation, homelessness, hunger, and of being sent back to the very situations they fled. Hundreds of thousands of welcomed refugees, including over 17,000 served by World Relief, were told they now have to undergo a re-interview.
Due process is glaringly missing. Instead, refugees are being deceived, detained and held in captivity for a re-interview. The need to speak up and help is urgent.
Together with you, World Relief is boldly responding, inspired by the audacious belief that human flourishing is possible — even in the midst of crisis.

At World Relief, we’ve welcomed, advocated for and helped integrate over 500,000 forcibly displaced immigrants to communities all across our nation, including here in Durham and the Triangle since 2007. And we’ve done so with the help of bold and compassionate women and men just like you.
Together, we can make Durham and the Triangle some of the most welcoming communities on the planet. Will you join us?
Seeing what World Relief was doing, I thought — thank God something is happening. There is still goodness in the world. World Relief is changing lives.

I don’t know what we would have done without [our caseworker]. Before we got to World Relief, it felt like no one cared.
