Causes And Disadvantages Of Refugees

A refugee is a person who has been forced to leave their home country in order to escape war, persecution, or natural disaster. There are many different types of refugees. These include refugees who are escaping war, social discrimination, racial discrimination, religious persecution, those who are seeking aid after a natural disaster or political unrest, and those who fear for their lives and the lives of their family.

This programme affords refugees the opportunity to rebuild their lives in dignity and peace. The programme also helps refugees to integrate into the local community as well as help teach them the local customs, culture and language.
