Providing assistance to refugees arriving in the Chicagoland area. Refugee Assistance Programs finds its roots in a cold winter's day, six years ago, when a young Muslim mother saw sandal-clad African women, in thin cotton clothing, dropping their children to school. Moved to do more than simply feel sorry for them or just fold some money into their palms, Naazish YarKhan began mobilizing the greater Chicago community to get involved towards assisting the refugees to become self-reliant. This was the kernel of Refugee Assistance Programs, which today is a chapter of World Faith and partners with several organizations in Chicago and beyond.
