We believe in refugees.

And see ourselves in every refugee.

The Haven is a group of justice-oriented sustaining supporters, just like you.

Their reliable recurring giving helps refugees rebuild their place of safety, stability, and refuge, their haven.

Our members know that refugee status does not define a person. Each individual carries their own preferences, fears, and dreams—just like we do. We choose to show the same compassion and empathy we would hope for if we were in their place.

Because at the heart of it all—we are them, and they are us.

Your place in The Haven provides stability, agency, and opportunity to refugees.

The most helpful way to advance our mission is predictable, stable funding. Even small amounts of money given on a predictable basis help us manage planning, expenses, strategy, and budgets.

$30 per month for one year provides STABILITY and OPPORTUNITY by covering the cost of processing and manufacturing a dozen Bashe Bora Tarps to provide stronger roofs for twelve displaced families.
$ 0
$50 per month for one year provides STABILITY by funding the production of Emergency Floor tiles for two displaced Syrian families in Turkey.
$ 0
$100 per month for one year provides AGENCY by funding the Shelter Depot "Work-For-Credit" salary pool, allowing refugees to use their labor to buy goods at the store.

The Every Shelter Bag

Meet your new favorite bag.

One shelter solution we developed is a multi-year tarp from discarded billboard vinyl we're calling Bashe Bora (Swahili for Better Tarp).

When one of our refugee partners asked if she could make a bag out of the scraps of the billboard material, we said, "of course! How many can you make?!"

Jump on this opportunity to own a piece of history by joining The Haven at $30+/month.
