When we first began to help refugees, SFL's main concern was to help them find safe shelter. We did not fully understand or appreciate the critical role shelter plays in creating or restoring a sense of dignity, security, and hope for the future. Our commitment to "shelter the poor wanderer" remains the essential focus of our programs; however, we have expanded our programs to incorporate comprehensive, grassroots projects that enable beneficiaries to rebuild not only homes but entire communities in order to fully restore their lives.
