Celebrating World Refugee Day with the Richmond Ivy Soccer Club
In celebration of World Refugee Day this year, the IRC in Richmond partnered with the Richmond Ivy Soccer Club!

In addition to the financial support, IRC staff had the opportunity to attend four home games to engage with Ivy fans and share about IRC services available to members of our community.

Following on from “Why Not Local?”, this report provides analysis from across three contexts: Afghanistan, the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), and Ukraine.
