Jesuit Refugee Service

JRS Malta has been running the Educational and Youth Programme, aiming to provide specialized services and support to young refugees. Part of this programme includes offering mentoring and guidance on education and employment.

JRS also embarked on a project aimed at addressing the needs for young refugees to be able to concentrate fully on their studies. To this end, they were given the use of a Jesuit house, Dar Pedro Arrupe in Zejtun. Each resident is given an individualized care plan in order to make the stay at Zejtun as fruitful as possible. JRS' case worker and social worker carry out weekly visits, hold individual one-to-one meetings every 3 months and provide continuous mentoring and support.

The Youth Programme also includes cultural outings aimed at helping refugees achieve more hands-on experiences within the community.

Your donations can help us cover the bills to run Dar Pedro Arrupe, organise activities and fund courses, all of which helps us to continue walking with young refugees towards a hope-filled future.

With your donations, JRS are looking to reach these targets:

• ‍Cover the bills for 3 months for Dar Pedro Arrupe in Zejtun – €400
• Cultural Outings for Youths – €100
• 3 to 4 vocational training courses – €1,000 (courses are dependent on the goals of the clients but could include ICDL, Electricical Installation, Plumbing, Forklift Operator and more)
