A self-sufficient spirit

Omar, a former Iraqi refugee, arrived in Michigan eager to piece

together his life and begin practicing medicine again. He selflessly

refused public cash assistance, knowing others more needy than

he could benefit from the initial jump-start.

In less than two weeks, Omar was working as a medical resident

at Wayne State University in Michigan.

74% of our resettled refugees were economically self-sufficient within only 180 days after arriving.

REFUGEES FILLED JOBS ACROSS AMERICAN INDUSTRIES

We continued to IDENTIFY A DISTURBING INCREASE OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING VICTIMS THROUGHOUT THE 29 STATES WE SERVE. With tenacious teamwork we’ve helped them to

restore their dignity and begin to rebuild a life of independence.

We expanded our anti-human trafficking network into 4 new states and enrolled 15 new service providers.

resources where there often have been none.

That idea is linked to the American Dream and the
