The IRC (International Rescue Committee) in Phoenix received an increased number of Afghan refugees beginning in August of 2021, after the Taliban regained control of the region. In response to that, we were one of eight RAI (Resettlement, Asylum & Integration) offices who were granted funding to launch a new wellness program, Salamati Rohi, to support our Afghan clients.

On June 22nd, 2023 the IRC in Boise hosted an Open House for local community members to get to know the structure of the IRC in Boise better.

The IRC in Boise is grateful for everyone who came out, and looks forward to continuous connections!
