GROWING ARRIVALS SINCE 2014 866 INDIVIDUALS SERVED

The number of clients served and clients who arrived are different due to standard carryover services depending on the date of arrival as well as the self-sufficiency level of clients from previous years. As families grow, their new babies also become clients. In 2022, at least 10 babies were born to our newly arrived refugee families.
