CS Galway

Community Sponsorship Group supporting Refugees coming to Galway.

Welcoming the newest members of our community.

This project is part of a larger one called EU Passworld which is run by Naasc and supported by the EU Fund for Migration and UNHCR. It is also supported by the Irish Refugee Protection Programme. The person who will benefit from the program is a refugee currently living in a refugee camp in Nigeria.

What is Community Sponsorship?

Community Sponsorship is a programme that gives people across Ireland the chance to welcome resettled refugees to their local communities. Refugees can often wait for years on UNHCR resettlement lists. Community Sponsorship gives the opportunity to people in Ireland to provide a welcome and a home to people desperately waiting for sanctuary.
