Displacement can happen to any one of us when war and disaster strikes. This is exactly what you’re about to watch: moments when people forced to flee their homes due to war and conflict arrive in the United States to start over. But they need support to begin this new chapter in their lives.

Forced to flee Haiti alone after an attempted attack on her home, Michelda sought safety in Mexico. Here, she found hope through the IRC’s Resilient Futures Program, supported by the Citi Foundation, which helps refugees build new lives through job training and employment opportunities. Now, Michelda is learning sustainable farming at the Iniciativa Agroecológica Xochimilco school, growing not just crops, but her dreams of a stable future.
