The Unaccompanied Refugee Minors Program is a foster care program for underage refugees and migrants that come to the USA by themselves without a parent or guardian to care for them. By sharing this email or flyer you are helping us bring awareness to the cause so that we can find children in need, caring homes. –Thank you.
There are over 21.3 million refugees around the world. More than 50% of these are children.
Refugees minors are underage children whose lives have been torn apart when violence arrives on their doorstep or when they—or their families—are persecuted for their religious or political beliefs. Refugee minors are driven from their homes and communities by factors outside their control. It happens fast. Quite literally, refugees are people running for their lives. Voiceless and without an advocate, most often grabbing only the things they can carry, refugee minors are the world’s most vulnerable.
Since 1982, the Unaccompanied Refugee Minors Program has been working to alleviate the suffering of refugees and migrant minors from all around the world. Our passion lies in empowering people of all backgrounds to rise together and reach beyond life’s challenges.
