How will RAA use my donation?
RAA provides 71 different services to help refugees out of crisis to self-sufficiency. Here’s a complete list.
Why Give To Refugees?
Without assistance, refugees become socially and economically isolated. Families become trapped in persistent poverty for a generation.
“People often think that the refugees who are here have it easy, that now they are here, in America, they will be just fine - but I am in a volunteer team supporting a very young family, and it’s been crisis after crisis. It’s very emotional - if we weren’t here, they would just go without.”
-RAA volunteer, 2022
Why does a gift to RAA help refugees in South Florida?
Refugees arrive with nothing, cannot communicate in our language, and contend with poverty, culture shock and trauma. RAA helps refugees learn English, gain a job, and connect with their communities - and trains ordinary people to offer friendship and support.
“RAA makes a deep, uplifting impact in its South Florida community. We’ve watched as lives have been changed and the seemingly intractable social and economic isolation of refugees arriving in the community has been overturned by a flourishing, grassroots movement, an extended family of do-ers, supporters and donors.”
-The Good People Fund, 2024
