Together, we're helping refugees and immigrants rebuild their lives.
Today, over 68 million people around the world have been forced to leave their home.
Each day, that number grows by over 44,000.
That’s one man, woman, or child, forced from their home every 2 seconds.
These families are fleeing for their lives, praying for their safety and desperately seeking refuge. And you can help them.
If you’re like us, you believe that everyone deserves a place to call ‘home’. You believe that families and young children deserve safety and security. And you want to do something to help.
When you give today, you help refugees and immigrants rebuild their lives, whether it’s here in the U.S. or around the world. Here’s just some of what we do:
U.S. Services
English Classes (ESL)
Immigration Legal Services
Job Placement
Global Services
Humanitarian Assistance
Livelihood Restoration
Trauma Counseling
"Coming to the US was a dream. It was so hard, but it was worth it. It is worth the work, the sweat, everything. Once you have citizenship here, you can go anywhere, you can do anything. We are rebuilding our future here now. It happens bit by bit, and it is hard, but starting is always hard. And hard work pays off in the United States. So I want to say thank you for all you’ve done, and ask that you keep fighting for us and for the future refugees that will come. Thank you for the hope you give us."
— Lamis Saadeddin, Syrian refugee, resettled in Seattle.
