Who Are Refugees?

The United Nations definition of a refugee is a person who has been forced to flee their home country and is unable to return because of a risk of persecution due to race, nationality, religion, or membership to a political or social group. 65.3 million people worldwide have been involuntarily displaced in some way, and a third of those people are now living as refugees in a foreign country.  They were forced to trade in their old lifestyles, their homes and their family and friends for a new life of uncertainty and hardships.  The refugee crisis is getting more severe every year, and yet it is not receiving the amount of attention that it deserves. Please support Without A Roof and come alongside us as we strive to improve the lives of those in need.
