Programmes

JRS is committed to working for the wellbeing and hope of refugees. We run pastoral care and psychosocial support programmes in detention centres and refugee camps, and provide humanitarian relief in emergency displacement situations. Education and livelihoods programmes provide skill development and opportunities for integration into host communities.  We never cease to advocate for the rights of refugees, and to articulate the obligation to protect the most vulnerable among us.
