Moving to a new country can be an overwhelming and isolating experience for anyone. Refugees who are forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence and/or persecution face particularly acute cultural, emotional and financial challenges during the resettlement process. IRC's HOME Program pairs volunteer groups with refugee families to help ease their transition into life in the U.S. through mentorship and financial and material support.

The International Rescue Committee’s New Roots program helps refugees become food secure and contribute to their new homes and communities.

Mukasa Agnes Flavia, a resilient refugee who arrived in the U.S. in 2019, faced challenges but found strength through the IRC. Supported by our programs, she purchased her first car and transformed her life. Now employed and active in addressing societal issues, Flavia's journey reflects resilience, gratitude, and advocacy. Join the IRC in supporting refugees like Flavia on their road to resettlement.
