What Refugees in Japan Face
More than 10,000 refugees arrive in Japan each year to escape persecution.
Without gaining refugee status, they cannot work, and some become homeless in Japan with no acquaintances or friends.

We warmly welcome refugees and help them settle in Japanese society by providing housing and helping them learn Japanese.
