How does RAIC support refugees in Indonesia?

We respond to immediate needs by providing the basics: basic goods, basic healthcare, and basic information.

We provide specialized assistance and training that enables refugees to uplift each other and advocate for themselves.
Collaboration with
Refugees
We collaborate with asylum seeker and refugee communities to identify and access long-term solutions.
Learn about our programs
Basic Needs
Basic Needs is a locally-led solution with a simple premise: to meet the everyday needs of our community members. Through monthly food and hygiene packages, supported access to preventative eye and dental health care, and emergency medical and housing assistance, we are enabling safer and healthier lives for those awaiting protection.

Cope
Cope is a community-based mental health and psychosocial support program designed to support refugees and asylum seekers. We take an innovative approach to overcoming barriers to mental health support for refugees by providing low-cost, culturally and linguistically accessible, peer-driven psychosocial support online and in-person.

Solutions
Solutions is dedicated to connecting refugees and asylum seekers with viable resettlement pathways, particularly private sponsorship. RAIC responds to enquiries with up-to-date advice, facilitates connections to sponsor communities, creates accessible information on resettlement applications, and enables financial assistance where possible. We are there to ensure refugees feel supported at every stage of the resettlement process.

Legal Aid & Empowerment
Our Legal Aid & Empowerment program provides information, advice and advocacy to refugees who may be unsure of their rights or confused by legal processes. We assist our community to understand the options available to them and access training to build their own legal capabilities to support themselves and others.
Learn more about Legal Aid & Empowerment here.
Advocacy & Reasearch
Our work expands beyond the borders of Indonesia through advocacy initiatives that tap into regional and global refugee networks, such as the Resourcing Refugee Leadership Initiative (RRLI). We partner with like-minded organisations to understand the issues facing refugee communities and build the evidence base for refugee community-led solutions.
Using our programs as a demonstrated model for direct and positive impact, we are influencing decision-makers to increase the inclusion and resourcing of refugee-led organisations across the world to sustainably improve the lives of forcibly displaced people.
