Something About Company

Inspired by the generous love and example of Jesus Christ, the Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) is an international Catholic organisation with a mission to accompanyserve, and advocate on behalf of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons, that they may heal, learn, and determine their own future.

Our work expresses the commitment of the Society of Jesus  (the Jesuits) to stand with refugees around the world.

JRS programmes are currently found in 52 countries, serving refugees and other forcibly displaced persons in conflict zones and detention centres, on remote borders and in busy cities. We run pastoral care and psychosocial support programmes in detention centres and refugee camps, and provide humanitarian relief in emergency displacement situations. Education and livelihoods programmes provide skill development and opportunities for integration into host communities.  We never cease to advocate for the rights of refugees, and to articulate the obligation to protect the most vulnerable among us.

Our Vision

A world where refugees and other forcibly displaced people attain protection, opportunity, and participation.

Our Way

JRS believes that our journeying with refugees is the most important way for us to express our solidarity with them and our concern for their wellbeing. In a world where refugees are more than ever in need of welcome, protection, and justice, and yet are increasingly rejected, demonised, and denied their fundamental human rights, JRS offers accompaniment to refugees as a sign of hope and a way towards healing.  In even the most desperate of situations, we remain with refugees to assure them that the world has not forgotten them, and that they are not alone.

VALUES

Dignity

JRS believes in the intrinsic dignity of every person. We work with refugees and other displaced persons regardless of race, gender, religion or politics.

Solidarity

JRS is a work of the Society of Jesus, carrying out the Society’s mission of faith and justice through humble and respectful service in solidarity with refugees from diverse cultures, nationalities and religions.

Participation

JRS upholds the principle of subsidiarity, endeavouring to be openly accountable for its work and transparent in its decision-making. We work in partnership with other religious congregations, humanitarian organisations, and with refugees themselves, encouraging co-responsibility, discernment and participative decision-making.

Compassion

The JRS mission is built on our faith in God who is present in human history, even in its most tragic moments. We are inspired by this faith and by core values that inform all the work we do.

Hospitality

JRS aspires to be hospitality in action. We walk alongside, accompany, and offer hospitality to the most vulnerable, those “at the frontiers of humanity”, giving priority to situations of great need, in places where a more universal good may be achieved, and to needs to which others are not attending.

Hope

JRS aims to give hope to refugees and other forcibly displaced persons. We provide a spiritual and practical response to their plight.

Justice

JRS is committed to a justice that empowers refugees to become “people with a voice of their own”, working together with them to challenge systems that deny human rights.
