Murtaza Mohammad Hossain, a refugee from Afghanistan, overcame numerous challenges with the help of the IRC's Matching Grant program, eventually securing a job and a donated car that transformed his family's life in the USA.

The Healing Hands project of the International Rescue Committee seeks to support the comprehensive development, care and protection of migrant boys and girls and members of the host community from 0 to 5 years old in Ecuador.

Moving to a new country can be an overwhelming and isolating experience for anyone. Refugees who are forced to flee their homes due to conflict, violence and/or persecution face particularly acute cultural, emotional and financial challenges during the resettlement process. IRC's HOME Program pairs volunteer groups with refugee families to help ease their transition into life in the U.S. through mentorship and financial and material support.
