A safe and clean space for refugees in Rome

Donation protected
The Joel Nafuma Refugee Center (JNRC) is a day center that welcomes 200 refugees or asylum seekers per day, around 15.000 per year, and offers vital support in their journey for protection in Italy and Europe. Almost all of our guests are fleeing armed conflict or political and religious persecution, the majority have been victims of smugglers or have been exploited by traffickers, around 70% are homeless, destitute and struggling to survive.


WE ASK FOR YOUR HELP

THROUGH THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC

TO SUPPORT OUR REOPENING IN OCTOBER 2020

In order to avoid the spread of COVID-19 and to ensure the safety of the whole local community, JNRC will offer assistance in total compliance with the health standards established by the Italian Ministry of Health and the World Health Organization (WHO).

Such strict health regulations will increase JNRC’s expenses by 7.500 Euros per month which means we have to raise 45.000 Euros to meet the pressing needs of our guests. This will include a weekly professional sanification, the provision of 5.400 masks and gloves per month, disinfectant liquid  and cleaning equipment to ensure six-month of humanitarian assistance. 

Your generous gift will contribute to the weekly sanitization of the spaces, the distribution of individual safety equipment (masks, gloves, disinfectant) and the payment of extra personnel for cleaning. Most of all, your contribution will enable us to continue carrying out our mission. The devastating impact of the Covid-19 pandemic has worsened the already extremely precarious living conditions of many refugees and has underscored their reliance on our service.

JNRC MISSION STATEMENT

“To accompany and assist asylum seekers from all over the world regardless of ethnicity, faith tradition, or phase of their journey for protection, integration and resettlement. By recognizing our common humanity and providing hospitality in the heart of Rome, we aim to provide a support program that encourages and empowers refugees to build new productive lives.”
