Sharing Our Mission with Students
JRS/USA serves as the major refugee
outreach arm of U.S. Jesuits and their
ministries in mobilizing their response
to refugee situations in the U.S. and
abroad. To foster this mobilization,
we launched an Outreach Program in
2010 to reach out directly to students
and parishioners around the country.
In doing so, we hope to both raise
awareness of the plight of refugees
and forcibly displaced people and fos-
ter increased participation in solving
the problems faced by refugees.

Thailand: Mae Hong Son camp one is located in the Shan hills, about 45 minutes walking distance from the

mar. About 10,000 have been resettled, mostly to the U.S., over the last several years. JRS mainly works in education

situations who are in danger of being
forgotten, such as the Burmese in Thai-

entirely dependent for their survival
on international support.
While camps are still the setting one
thinks of when discussing refugee
issues, the reality is that more than
half of the world’s refugees now live in
urban areas, and assistance to refu-
gees in urban settings is complicated
by their invisibility within the urban
population, and in many cases by
negative attitudes on the part of local
residents and officials.

JRS continues to be a leading voice
in advocacy for urban refugees, who
— hidden in plain sight —are some-
times among the most neglected and
exploited populations. As part of the
Urban Refugee Task Team, JRS/USA
played a significant role in worldwide
efforts to identify and disseminate

Syria: A $25,000 grant from The Ohrstrom Foundation enabled JRS to assist displaced families within Syria via the provision of
food and non-food items such as clothing, blankets and related supplies, to help meet some of the most basic and essential needs
of those displaced or affected by the violent conflict. JRS distributed food baskets through two field kitchens operating in Damascus,
which serve hundreds of Syrians in shelters on a daily basis (six days per week), in several neighborhoods. The Ohrstrom Foundation’s
support also provided additional support to families in particularly high distress through cash support for rent or other essential
expenses. (Gebrail Saud — JRS)

Kenya: A $10,000 grant from The
Loyola Foundation provides bicy-
cles for counselors, enabling them to
more efficiently conduct home visits
in the vastness of Kakuma camp. JRS
is currently the only organization
in Kakuma providing psychosocial
support. As part of those services,
540 refugees serve as peer coun-
selors for more than 2,000 fellow
refugees. In addition to the direct
service provided those being coun-
seled, the peer counseling program
serves as leadership development for
counselors as they strive to improve
their own community. This is in line
with our mission of accompaniment,
working with instead of for refugees,
empowering them to lead their own
communities and transform their
own realities.
Despite efforts of peer counsel-
ors, one of the biggest issues they
face, especially women, is lack of
safety when traveling to and from
the counseling site in the sprawl-
ing refugee camp. Peer counselors,
many female, walk long distances
through what is essentially a large
town to reach refugee families need-
ing psychosocial care. Bicycles allow
counselors to travel more quickly
and safely around Kakuma and to
reach many more families.
“Since I received the new bicycle,
counseling sessions are more effec-
tive in terms of time and the number
of sessions not missed or delayed. I
was so thrilled to receive the bicycle
because it has assisted me a lot,”
said JRS counselor Kavi Moran.
The grant enabled JRS to purchase
69 bicycles for the peer counselors
last year. JRS staff can access com-
munity members with greater ease
as visits and follow-ups are easier to
execute. Additionally, as traveling
time is reduced staff members are
able to handle more clients.
