Nehemiah's Cry For Development

We desire to partner with other organizations who are working with the refugee community in Kentucky, as well as individuals who may be interested in lending a helping hand. Call our office or drop us an email to see how we can join hands to uplift an ever growing community.

Every year, hundreds of people fleeing violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan, and other African countries arrive in America following long and treacherous journeys including long stays in refugee camps, imprisonments or living as illegal immigrants or asylum seekers in various countries. This year, we have seen a steep increase in the number of African migrants seeking asylum at the US-Mexico border – many of whom are being held in detention centers or simply sent back to Mexico – suggesting that there is a real crisis begging for an appropriate response.

That’s why Nehemiah’s Cry for Development aims to serve and promote the integration and self-sufficiency of refugees living in Lexington, Kentucky. We are trying to help them meet their basic needs and gain access to various resources and opportunities that are available.
