Asylum Access

The average time in a refugee camp is 17 years.  Asylum Access was founded to change this.

Asylum Access is an innovative nonprofit that makes refugee rights a reality in Africa, Asia and Latin America. We help refugees assert their rights to live safely, work, send children to school and rebuild their lives. Through a unique combination of four integrated tools – combining grassroots legal aid with far-reaching advocacy – Asylum Access transforms the human rights landscape for refugees in first countries of refuge. Asylum Access currently provides legal assistance to over 5,000 refugees each year.  Our advocacy has secured policy changes impacted over 1 million refugees since 2005.

Unlike humanitarian aid – the traditional response to long-term displacement – the Asylum Access model offers a lasting solution for refugees, their host communities, and the world.

"

This book makes an all too rare and important point:  One of the distinguishing characteristics of social entrepreneurs is the way their actions and their example pave the way for peace.  Kaufman gives us multiple examples here to demonstrate that the kind of empathetic leadership exhibited by these social entrepreneurs builds an alternative to conflict and contributes to the stability and security of societies.”

Dr. Diana Wells, President, Ashoka
