Who We Serve
Through CWS and EMM, Kentucky Refugee Ministries is authorized by the U.S. State Department to assist people who have been identified as refugees by the United Nations and legally admitted to the United States. Refugees are victims of warfare or other forms of persecution because of their religious or political beliefs and come from all over the world. Refugees arrive as victims of physical and emotional trauma. They come as people who have lost homes and families, but as people with hope for peace and freedom as they begin a new life. Since 1990, KRM has placed over 5,300 refugees, representing 36 different nationalities and ethnic groups including Liberian, Colombian, Vietnamese, Haitian, Cuban, Iraqi, Somali, Kurdish, Bosnian, Kosovar, Russian, Ethiopian, Romanian, Sudanese, Benadir, Barawan, Togolese, Congolese, Burmese, Karen, Burundi, Bhutanese, Afghani, Iranian, Ukrainian and Rwandan in various Kentucky communities. KRM resettles all refugees without regard to race or religion.
