The Unheard
The program will assist African immigrants coming in the United States and who are detained at the border. They are asylum seekers, running away for the violence their are facing in their countries, due to the fact that they change religion, or they are part of the LGBTQIA+ Community. Both of the situation are death sentences for them. Our role is to provide them attorneys housing and make sure that they get the asylum request filed at court. We welcome then in our houses too. We offer the shelters, food, job and mental health support.
