Conflicts around the world have forced over 25 million people to flee their homelands due to persecution because of who they are or what they believe.
Despite having typically left everything behind – including homes, families and jobs, refugees find ways not just to survive but to thrive.
IRHRI helps refugees and other vulnarable persons find safety, freedom and stability.
Through innovative community-based programs focused on legal protection, psycho-social support and livelihoods assistance, IRHRI staff around the world work hard to protect refugees and help them utilize their inherent capabilities to improve their lives.
