Friends of Refugees Inc (AU, 16623489464) Browse events

Friends of Refugees (FOR) was formed in early 2013, emerging as a practical response to address the needs of the huge number of asylum seekers released from detention centres to live in the Australian community, without much support put in place. Asylum seekers are one of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged groups in Australia. Asylum seekers in Australia have no guaranteed right to income, healthcare or settlement services. FOR grew out of providing material aid to new arrivals and quickly adapted to meet other emerging needs. We support asylum seekers and refugees in our local community by providing quality donated items, support services and community engagement.   FOR supports asylum seekers and refugees both in detention and in the community. FOR is a volunteer run charity and is able to operate by the generous donations of concerned and compassionate Australians who contribute to our work. The funds will go towards a much needed printer/copier/scanner that will be primarily used  for the FOR education support program. On behalf of everyone at Friends of Refugees, we would like to thank you for donating to our organization. Your support allows us to continue our much needed work supporting and aiding refugees and asylum seekers entering Australia. For more information go to: http://www.friendsofrefugees.org.au
