At the IRC, our programmes support people from Syria, Afghanistan, Ukraine, Iraq, Sudan and beyond.
Through our work, we've witnessed countless inspiring stories of people overcoming adversity and thriving in their new communities.
Saghar, a journalist who had to flee her home in Afghanistan, arrived in the UK in 2021 and graduated from the IRC's Leadership course. Saghar is now pursuing her dream of becoming a fashion designer in Liverpool.
Zahra, a former TV news anchor from Afghanistan, is rebuilding her life in High Wycombe while advocating for women's rights. Zahra graduated from both the IRC's Orientation for Newcomers and Leadership courses in October 2022.
Halyna, who fled Ukraine with her children in 2022, took part in the IRC's Orientation and Leadership courses and is now helping other refugees overcome employment barriers in London.
These stories, and countless more, highlight the strength and determination of our clients, as well as the positive impact of the IRC's support in helping them rebuild their lives and achieve their goals.
