Protect Hope

Learn how your gift supports Jesuit Refugee Service programs that foster hope, purpose, and opportunity for forcibly displaced communities.

Protection is at the heart of all JRS programs.

At Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS), we believe protection is the promotion of justice. Every refugee’s journey begins with a search for safety, but forcibly displaced people deserve more than safety—they deserve the opportunity to grow, learn, and thrive.

Your gift helps JRS create safe spaces where children and adults alike can heal, learn, and determine their own futures.

How Your Gift Supports Refugees

Your gift today protects more than lives—it protects dignity and opportunity.. With your support, Jesuit Refugee Service provides protection integrated into education, livelihoods, mental health and support services, and more. Every donation helps build a future where refugees not only survive, but thrive.

💙 Every dollar makes a difference.

Protect Childhood

 JRS’s early childhood education programs, such as the Little Ripples programs, are global, community-led programs implemented in Chad through a partnership between JRS and iACT.

“They play games, laugh together, and return home having learned something. This gives them hope that tomorrow will be even better.”
Masrabaye Emmanuel, JRS Supervisor

Protect Community

Access to basic needs transforms a child’s ability to focus and succeed. JRS distributes these essential materials and provides security—creating places of connection and growth.

“Since receiving the writing materials from JRS…students are more focused and participate more effectively.”
Mr. Luka Yalhuma, JRS Teacher

Protect Dignity

Providing opportunity protects dignity. JRS supports refugees by preserving potential by empowering them to choose their own destiny.

“We must prepare ourselves mentally and psychologically so we can persevere and make something of ourselves.”
Nyaneng Simon Tut, JRS-supported university student
