The Challenge Newcomers Face
Starting over in a new country is overwhelming. Language barriers, navigating unfamiliar systems, and accessing essential services make resettlement a daunting task. Without proper support, newcomers risk isolation, insecurity, and missed opportunities to build a better future.
