About us
Who we are
We are a team of change-makers who believe that every helping hand can raise a child and create a better future for them.
CCRSA (Community of Congolese Refugees in South Africa) is a dedicated non-profit organization committed to providing essential social assistance to Congolese refugees and individuals from other nationalities. We collaborate closely with the Legal Aid of Refugees Assistance to ensure that those we serve receive the support they need to rebuild their lives.
Our mission is to deliver quality services to orphans and underprivileged refugees, helping them navigate the challenges of displacement and integration into a new society. We believe in the power of community and strive to create a supportive environment where every individual can thrive.
