Plan & Prepare

Newcomers often rely on sponsors to help them settle into a new society, but sometimes problems arise. Conflicts can happen between newcomers and their sponsors or with others in the community. These conflicts, caused by different information, needs, values, or relationship issues, can make it hard for newcomers to fit in if not resolved properly.

Sponsorship groups are responsible for providing income support, plus start-up costs, to the refugee(s) they sponsor.
