We are an operational and advocacy-focused NGO, responding the global challenge of integration and resettlement.

Our approach is a community-centered engagement through the collaborative participation of the community members as key stakeholders in the solutions to their challenges. Our interventions are intended to transform the community into thriving, self-sufficient groups- socially, economically, and psychosocially... We affirm the dignity of the members of vulnerable..
