We help refugees and asylum seekers in worldwide, including free advice sessions and English classes. We are here to support you, and help you migrate to the United States, Canada or Europe.
Most refugees are unable to travel far beyond the borders of their home countries. They often live in refugee camps or in poverty in neighbouring countries for years. Many children have lived their entire lives in camps. Some refugees who are particularly vulnerable due to health conditions, or because they are at a high risk of harm or exploitation, are eligible for our free resettlement program. They are transferred to countries like the US, UK or Canada which has agreed to offer them a safe place where they can finally rebuild their lives.
We give those facing persecution in Myanmar and Afghanistan the support they need to resettle and rebuild their lives. Working with local communities, groups and public services, we ensure they have a warm welcome and a home in which to begin their new lives.

As conflicts, crises and human rights abuses escalate around the world, a record 79.5 million people are currently forcibly displaced from their homes globally, of whom 26 million are refugees (the remainder are internally displaced). Over the last decade an astonishing 100 million people have been newly displaced, and currently 1% of the world’s population are forced from their homes. Syria is by far the world’s leading producer of both internally displaced people and refugees, with more than half the population displaced by conflict. 85% of all refugees are hosted by developing regions – Turkey currently hosts the largest number of refugees, with 3.6 million – and 50% of all refugees are children, up from 41% in 2009.
Along with record levels of displacement, living conditions are poor for refugees in many host countries, and there are few legal routes to the West. Refugee resettlement, mostly to Western countries, has declined significantly of late, largely because of the US slashing its quotas. Western countries have also taken steps to prevent irregular arrivals of refugees and to limit rescue operations at sea. As of the end of 2019, at least 19,164 people had died trying to cross the Mediterranean since 2014.
Once an individual has received the right to remain in the UK, USA or Canada, they are no longer an asylum seeker and are generally referred to as a refugee. At this point they have the same rights as other British residents, i.e. they can seek work, apply for benefits, reside where they choose, and apply for British citizenship after a qualification period – they do not receive any kind of preferential treatment.

AFGHANISTAN: With the imminent humanitarian crisis in Afghanistan as the Taliban try to exploit the vacuum left by withdrawing foreign forces. Afghans face the confluence of multiple crises just as President Biden withdraws American forces. Beyond the pandemic, drought and a dire economy, they confront a resurgent Taliban movement that now controls or contests more of the country’s territory than at any time since 2001. Afghan security personnel are struggling to hold territory, and the political elites have thus far been unable to unify against the common threat of the Taliban. Many Afghans are searching for alternatives to both the Taliban and President Ashraf Ghani. Meanwhile, anti-Taliban militias are mobilizing, and reports of Taliban killings and abuse are rife. A number of Afghans fear they have no hope but to flee the country.
MYANMAR: Myanmar’s decade-long efforts at a democratic transition of power had brought some progress and hope to a population afflicted by poverty and internal conflict. The sudden return to military rule has raised alarms about the future of the southeast Asian nation. Public services are almost nonexistent. Financial systems are barely functioning. Myanmar hosts some of the most isolated and vulnerable populations in the world.
This is a very uncertain and turbulent time for Afghanistan and Myanmar. But the world has largely closed its doors to them. These are the reasons we have come to help.
