Mission Statement
The mission of Global Emergency Response and Assistance is to protect human rights, and restore the dignity, well-being, and safety of those physically, emotionally, and mentally affected by conflicts. We provide aid and assistance to refugees, new arrivals in host countries, and internally displaced persons. By providing such individuals with immediate relief, supporting their resettlement process, and advocating for their rights, we help support the values of human dignity and human rights.
Description
GERA -- we build lasting relationships with individuals and families in need. We respond to their needs by connecting our newest residents with one another, offering language programs that lead to their social and economic independence, and advocating for their full participation in our communities. We understand that for vulnerable populations, reclaiming dignity and establishing economic independence are equally important outcomes. We’ve grown GERA from the ground up with an inspired team and expert advisors, and with your support, we look forward to reinforcing our programs and welcoming our newest neighbors.
