About JRS

The Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) is an international, Catholic organisation with a mission to accompany, serve and advocate on behalf of refugees and other forcibly displaced persons. JRS undertakes services at national and regional levels, with the support of a regional office in Brussels, and an international office in Rome. Founded in November 1980 as a work of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits). Fr Pedro Arrupe, who was Father General at the time, was deeply moved by the plight of the Vietnamese boat people. JRS was born as a reponse to this crisis.

 JRS now works in 56 countries, providing assistance to refugees in camps and cities; individuals displaced within their own countries; and to those held in detention centres. The main areas of work are in the field of education, emergency assistance, healthcare, livelihood activities and social services. In 2018, JRS served 680,000 people all over the world.
