Today marks one of the most difficult moments in our journey as Freedom House Initiative. 💔
For more than four years, this shelter has been more than just a house. It became a place of refuge, protection, healing, and hope for refugees and asylum seekers who had nowhere else to turn.
More than 200 vulnerable individuals passed through these doors seeking safety, emergency shelter, psychosocial support, SRHR services, protection, dignity, and a sense of belonging. Within these walls, we held trainings, community dialogues, counseling sessions, empowerment activities, and life-changing conversations that restored hope to many displaced people.
Due to the continued decline in funding and overwhelming operational challenges, we have been forced to close this shelter and vacate the space. Watching this chapter come to an end is deeply painful for us, for the community, and for the many lives connected to this home.
However, even in this painful transition, we remain committed to standing with vulnerable refugees and asylum seekers. The need for protection, shelter, food, healthcare, and psychosocial support has not ended.
As we work to reorganize ourselves and rebuild again, we humbly appeal for support from friends, partners, well-wishers, and everyone who believes in humanity and refugee protection. Your support — no matter how small — can help us continue responding to vulnerable lives in crisis and help us establish a stable space again for those in urgent need. ❤️
We may be leaving this shelter behind, but we are not abandoning the mission.
