International Association For Refugees (Iafr)

IAFR was established in 2009 in response to the need for an international Christian non-profit to help people survive and recover from forced displacement. OUR WORK We serve women, children and men who are uprooted from their homes by rampant violence, war, gross violations of human rights, and/or persecution. We focus on long-term recovery work that serves to break isolation, strengthen community, build capacity, facilitate healing, promote reconciliation, deepen faith and generate hope. We connect local churches along the Refugee Highway (including refugee churches) with the church-at-large in ways that preserve dignity and help people survive and recover from forced displacement. OUR FOUNDER IAFR Founder and President, Tom Albinson, has served among refugees full-time since 1981 bringing a wealth of experience, understanding and relationships to IAFR. TRAINING & RESOURCES IAFR's refugee ministry training is sought after internationally by people, churches, agencies, and ministry networks. Our ministry and advocacy resources are used by churches and practitioners around the world to raise awareness, train and equip people for service among the forcibly displaced. GET INVOLVED Be Informed: A good starting point is to visit www.IAFR.org and subscribe to IAFR Emails to keep informed about current refugee realities and IAFR ministry. DONATE: Financial partners make a tangible difference in the lives of forcibly displaced men, women and children through IAFR ministries and projects. No gift is too small to make a difference. SERVE: Volunteers help with numerous tasks that are essential to the on-going success of our ministry. While many opportunities are behind-the-scenes, they truly impact the work of IAFR and the lives of the refugees we serve. We also have opportunities for short-term and long-term service.
