Frequently Asked Questions

  • We are a Las Vegas, NV area nonprofit that welcomes, assists, and empowers refugees and legal immigrants, transforming their lives and equipping them to be integral members of society.

  • In the past decade, the global refugee crisis has more than doubled in scope. In 2022, the UNHCR announced that we had surpassed the 100 million mark for total displacement, meaning that over 1.2% of the global population have been forced to leave their homes. Among these people are over 32.5 million refugees.

    We provide a solid proven pathway to self-sufficiency by employing refugees and providing the necessary tools for success.

    If we don’t provide a pathway for these refugees to become self-sufficient, they will surely increase our numbers of homelessness and welfare dependency that will duplicate to the next generation.

    We help the community by placing these individuals in a program where they can begin at their level. Some of our clients have never gone to school, so we provide them a place they can give back regardless of their lack of or education.
