Canadian Initiative for Refugees Resettlement, Counseling, Localizing and Empowerment-CIRCLE International hasn't added a story.
Describe the problem you are trying to solve
As refugees and newcomers arrive in Canada, they often face numerous challenges, especially in the initial stages of settlement. Among these challenges, one of the most pressing is the lack of essential resources such as food, furniture, household items, and specific necessities for their children. Without access to these basic needs, refugees and newcomers struggle to establish stability and rebuild their lives in a new country.
Describe the solution to the problem
Our crowdfunding campaign aims to provide vital support to refugees and newcomers by supplying them with food packages, furniture, fixtures, utensils, and specific items necessary for their children. By offering these essential resources, we can help alleviate the immediate hardships faced by these individuals and families as they route the complexities of starting anew in Canada.
Point out the gap or barrier to better outcomes
Despite various government and community support programs, there remains a significant gap in meeting the diverse and specific needs of refugees and newcomers. Many newcomers arrive with minimal belongings and limited financial resources, making it challenging for them to acquire the essentials for daily living. The lack of access to these basic items hinders their ability to integrate successfully into Canadian society and achieve long-term stability.
