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.

HUNDREDS OF PRO BONO ATTORNEYS GAVE THEIR TIME AND TALENTS to ensure justice
for all as record numbers of unaccompanied immigrant
children reached our borders in
search of a better life. A special recognition goes to Bracewell & Giuliani, an international law firm that accepted
20 pro bono cases in 2013.

when they arrive to the U.S. is the ability to never give up.
That idea is linked to the American Dream and the
American way of life.
