Universal Human Rights International

The mission of Universal Human Rights International (UHRI) is to assist refugees of wars to become self-reliant and establish new lives in the United States. For the long-term solution, the UHRI also assists in the repatriation and resettlement of refugees who desire to return to their homelands when hostilities cease and a safer environment exists. UHRI has worked with thousands of immigrants from 38 different countries over the span of 20 years but 90% of our clients are refugees from Sub-Saharan Africa. The services we provide include assisting refugees with temporary status to obtain work permits; assisting asylum seekers in navigating the system; employment and affordable housing referral and training; and refugee resettlement and integration.
