Everyone deserves equal access to the American dream.

We believe that refugees and immigrants deserve to thrive in America, not merely survive.

To make this a reality in Houston, we offer education, relief, mentorship, and athletic programs for a truly 360-degree approach to assimilation.

Our attitude towards immigration reflects who we are as a community. By coming together and helping new Americans, we are honoring our ancestors and uniting a stronger nation. Through your donations and volunteer hours, we can reach our goals and continue to grow.

Amaanah Refugee Services serves a vital role in Houston

One in six Texans today is an immigrant or a child of one,^[1] and at Amaanah, we’re embracing Houston’s growing cultural diversity. Our mission is to provide refugee and immigrant families in the Houston area with a compassionate approach to assimilation.

While other refugee services focus heavily on relief and social welfare, Amaanah specifically addresses barriers—such as social isolation and child-learning gaps—that affect assimilation. And with less than 1% of American grants and NGO funding now going to organizations that serve immigrants and refugees,^[2] Amaanah has stepped up to provide educational and community resources for Houston’s most vulnerable.

What We Do

To make this a reality in Houston, we need your help to offer education, relief, mentorship, and athletic programs for a truly 360-degree approach to assimilation. From education and career resources to mentorship and social skills, Amaanah Refugee Services takes a holistic approach to supporting our new community.
