In 2022, JRS made a notable difference in the lives of 1,513,125 women, men, and children in 58 countries. We accompanied our refugee sisters and brothers in emergencies and long-standing crises, providing education, livelihoods, psychosocial support, reconciliation, and advocacy while never losing sight of the value of accompaniment.

We helped them rebuild their lives and foster hope for a better tomorrow. “Hope is not an optimism that everything will be better tomorrow. Rather, hope is the horizon of those we serve and the foundation of the work we do,” says Fr Thomas H. Smolich SJ, JRS International Director.
