Our Work in Angola

JRS Angola provides legal workshops for refugees and government officials to educate individuals about the refugee rights. JRS also assists refugees in filing appeals when they have been denied their refugee status. In border areas close to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, JRS Angola works to provide emergency aid to refugees fleeing horrendous violence in the Kasai region.

Education Education is a life-saving intervention that helps displaced children and families to see beyond their displacement.
