It Takes a Community
to Build a Home
Community Sponsorship (CS) connects refugees with local communities – including diaspora communities, NGOs, governmental actors, and landlords – helping them settle in a new environment.
I can guide newcomers
into my community
I wish I had someone
to guide me
I need support

Community Sponsorship brings together compassionate individuals, groups, and families to connect them with refugees who need support starting a life in a new country. The goal is to create a welcoming environment where new members of the community feel supported and connected.
The RISE project focuses on connecting refugees with Sponsors across Belgium, Italy, and Lithuania. Together, we’re addressing challenges like housing shortages and integration, creating opportunities for refugees to build independent, self-reliant lives in their new communities.
