The story of the modern-day migrant continues to be coated in unhomeliness; most of them are forced to move from their homes and countries due to constant strife, natural disasters, and sheer poverty. But the world is paying heed. There is now an abundance of NGOs and other associations whose mission is to address this sad plight. Below is a list of some organizations committed to the cause of the displaced.

International Rescue Committee

This organization has been around for a long time, founded at the request of renowned scientist Albert Einstein. It is focused on providing support and aid to people affected by various humanitarian crises, from escape from war-torn parts of the world to resettlement programs.

National Immigration Law Center 

As the name suggests, this center is committed to providing legal advice for immigrants, especially those with low income. But beyond offering hands-on help, it is also keen on affecting policies and legislation for immigrants via its myriad advocacy campaigns and education programs.

Families for Freedom

This organization has the far-reaching goal of helping former and present immigrant prisoners or detainees, providing support for migrant’s loved ones, and aiding individuals currently at risk of getting deported.

Make the Road New York

Other states in the U.S. should take the cue from what this organization is doing in the Big Apple, which is to aid mostly Latino working-class communities in the city via adult education classes and workforce training.
