Amaanah hosts World Refugee Day

World Refugee Day is a crucial annual event that aims to raise awareness about the global refugee crisis and celebrate the resilience and contributions of refugees worldwide.

On June 17th, Amaanah is excited to bring the community together and shed light on the importance of compassion, inclusivity, and support for refugees, at Houston’s World Refugee Day event.

World Refugee Day serves as a powerful reminder of the millions of individuals and families forcibly displaced from their homes due to conflict, persecution, and violence. It highlights the urgent need for solidarity and the recognition of refugees’ human rights. The day not only honors the strength and courage of refugees but also emphasizes the collective responsibility of individuals, communities, and nations in ensuring their protection and integration.

Amaanah, a non-profit organization founded in 2008, has been at the forefront of providing holistic support and opportunities for refugees in the Houston area. Their commitment to empowering refugees and helping them rebuild their lives aligns perfectly with the spirit of World Refugee Day. Through various programs and services, Amaanah focuses on education, employment, and social support, enabling refugees to thrive and become self-sufficient members of society.

Amaanah invites the community at large to join in the celebration of World Refugee Day 2023 in Houston. The event promises to be an enriching experience, featuring various activities, performances, and storytelling sessions that highlight the unique journeys and triumphs of refugees. By participating, community members have the opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the refugee experience and engage in meaningful conversations about the importance of support and integration.

“World Refugee Day provides a platform to bridge gaps and foster unity among diverse communities,” says Jida Nabulsi, Amaanah’s CEO.

Amaanah’s hosting of this event emphasizes the organization’s commitment to building bridges between refugees and the wider community, fostering empathy, understanding, and solidarity.”
