We work to fill the gaps experienced by the most disadvantaged or vulnerable refugees as they work toward successful resettlement. This is the driving force behind ashas refuge. We offer help and encouragement for individuals facing an array of challenges by first just loving them. We aim to serve those refugees who have an illness or disability, are uneducated adults, parents of multiple children, single parents, preschoolers in need of kindergarten readiness and the elderly, particularly widows and widowers. We believe all people have a right to learn basic skills to live an independent and productive life of respect through gods love.
