Our Work in South Africa

JRS South Africa works with refugees in urban areas like Johannesburg and Pretoria to provide medical care and support income generation. Since Johannesburg is home to the largest urban refugee population in the world, JRS works tirelessly with refugees to create sustainable livelihoods, provide vocational training, and assist in setting up small businesses.
