We believe in the power of community and the importance of working together to achieve our goals. At GREATER EQUATORIA REGION ASSOCIATION, we empower individuals and communities to create lasting change.
As is unfortunately typical of the refugee experience, African refugees face intersecting stressors in their new environments. Many live below the poverty level, experience housing instability, lack access to basic resources like medical and child care, and have limited English language skills. Our work not only provides them with access to the job market, but helps them gain the confidence and financial stability to make their own choices, and have full agency over their new lives here in the Utah.
GREATER EQUATORIA REGION ASSOCIATION was founded in 2019 by a group of community members who recognized the need for a local organization dedicated to African refugees. Since then, we have grown into a thriving nonprofit, serving hundreds of individuals each year.
Our team is made up of dedicated professionals who are passionate about making a difference in the lives of those we serve. From case managers to outreach workers, we work together to provide comprehensive support to our clients.
We are proud to partner with a variety of local organizations to provide the best possible support to our clients. From healthcare providers to community foundations, our partners help us extend our reach and impact in the community.
