USCRI is a nongovernmental, not-for-profit international organization dedicated to addressing the needs and rights of refugees and immigrants. Working with its affiliates, USCRI provides legal services, social, and health services to refugees, unaccompanied migrating children, trafficking survivors, and other immigrants in all 50 states, El Salvador, Honduras, Kenya, and Mexico.
We see a future where immigrants, refugees, and uprooted people will live dignified lives with their rights respected and protected in communities of opportunity.
This is a story of setbacks. A story of hardship. Most of all, a story of resilience.
Even when systems failed her, Batoul refused to give up on herself. And USCRI Twin Falls refused to give up on her either.
Again and again, she rebuilt. Again and again, her community showed up beside her.
For the past 10 years, the Habesha Project has helped refugees access higher education opportunities in Mexico, supporting 123 students from 11 countries as they pursue their academic and professional goals.

More than 3 million refugees have rebuilt their lives in the United States because of the 1980 Refugee Act, legislation championed by Congresswoman Elizabeth Holtzman alongside Senator Ted Kennedy.

Happy Mother’s Day.
Today, we are highlighting USCRI’s Samantha Huyn and her mother’s journey of resilience. Across our communities, refugee and immigrant mothers show that same strength every day by rebuilding their lives, supporting their families, and doing everything they can to create brighter futures for their children.
We don’t say it enough: thank you, moms.
This Mother’s Day, we honor the strength, resilience, and sacrifice mothers show every day as they protect, provide for, and rebuild alongside the families depending on them.
At USCRI, we believe supporting mothers means supporting entire families. Through our resettlement programs and field offices, we help newly arrived families rebuild with dignity.

Behind this crisis are real people sharing what these reductions mean for their daily lives, their children, and their futures.
