ADOPT-A-Refugee-FAMILY PROGRAM

Because of its magnitude and urgency, the Chaldean Federation of America has partnered with various well-known organizations in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, etc., as well as with an international Jesuit organization to launch the “Adopt-A-Refugee-Family” initiative.

One of the many humanitarian relief efforts orchestrated by the CFA, the goal of the “Adopt-A-Refugee-Family” program is to help at least 600 families reestablish their security and livelihood by the end of 2008 in Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, etc. The turmoil in Iraq and the surrounding  areas has taken its toll on more than 20,000 families—mostly Christians—who are being singled out, persecuted and even murdered because of their religious beliefs. These people were, until recently, exactly like many of us—business professionals, salespeople, lawyers, and teachers. Now a religious minority, they are forced from their homes and left with no other choice than to seek refuge and safety anywhere they can throughout the region.

Reduced to the status of “refugees,” these displaced persons are prohibited from working, going to school, worshipping … and are prevented from living their normal lives. Not only have they lost their homes, their jobs, and their livelihoods, but their food, water and other basic necessities have become exceedingly scarce. Entire families—children, infants, grandmothers Adopt a refugee family now and 100% of your donation will go directly toward helping a family in need.
