To support agricultural recovery in long-term or post-crisis locations, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ works with communities to restore agricultural assets, upgrade skills and practices, and build disaster preparedness to better protect and improve their livelihoods.

The Healing Hands project of the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ seeks to support the comprehensive development, care and protection of migrant boys and girls and members of the host community from 0 to 5 years old in Ecuador. After the initial implementation of Healing Hands, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ (̽»¨¾«Ñ¡) developed a report with reflections and learnings that organizations can replicate.

Methodological Recommendations were developed as part of the project "I Know. I Can. I Practice: strengthening women's initiatives to prevent and respond to gender-based violence in local communities during armed conflict." The project is led by the Ukrainian Coalition of Non-Governmental Organizations to Combat Human Trafficking, in partnership with the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ (̽»¨¾«Ñ¡) and with support from the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (SIDA).

In honor of National Human Trafficking Awareness Month in January, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Silver Spring sat down with Winifrida Kassembe, Anti-Trafficking Caseworker, to interview her about the office’s efforts to combat human trafficking in Maryland. The focus of the Anti-Trafficking Program is to ensure that survivors have access to protection and opportunities to achieve self-sufficiency through comprehensive case management, advocacy, education, collaboration, and capacity building.

In 2018, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ assisted over 120,000 Syrian refugees and low-income Jordanians to access healthcare, protection, education and income generation opportunities. One of the recent changes that ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ staff have noticed is that Syrian women are taking on more of an income earning role than was the norm back in Syria and that this is creating changes in household dynamics.

Across 2022 and 2023, the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Atlanta’s Immigration and Legal Services team, in partnership with the expert staff at Georgia Asylum & Immigration Network (GAIN) and many generous and dedicated volunteers, hosted 12 pro se legal clinics to assist Afghan humanitarian parolees to apply for asylum and/or Temporary Protected Status (TPS).
