In Fundación Amal Argentina we work to increase the number of resettled refugees, through the promotion, strengthening, and dissemination of the community sponsorship program in different communities across the country. We detect and train potential sponsors and sponsorship groups, accompanying them throughout the process, as well as providing psychological assistance, support and advice to refugees to achieve their better integration.We work to promote, implement and strengthen the resettlement model known as Community Sponsorship, so that people in need of international protection can start a new life in our country. We advocate and promote the human rights of migrants and refugees with a focus on women, children, and LGBTIQ + community.Community sponsorship has been implemented in Argentina since 2014 through the "Special Humanitarian Visa Program for foreigners affected by the conflict in the Syrian Arab Republic", commonly known as the "Syrian Program".Fundación Amal Argentina collaborates in the resettlement of families and refugees of Syrian nationality who have resettlement priority according to UNHCR (United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees), and we are the first non-Canadian organization to implement sponsorship programs with refugee population that identifies as LGBTIQ+.We are founding members of the Argentine Network that Supports Community Sponsorship of Refugees.
