Organization Name: Bethany Christian Services, Refugee Foster Care Madison Heights
Organization Overview: Caring for Refugee Youth Who have Lost Everything
All across the world, families are being forced to flee their homes due to war, natural disasters, or persecution. Often refugee families are split apart between the time they leave their home and when they arrive at a refugee camp. When this happens, family reunification is difficult and children are considered orphans. The only option for these children is to be resettled in other countries as unaccompanied minors.
*Refugee foster care is offered in West Michigan and eastern Pennsylvania.
