Über diesen Titel

In Canada, private citizens are able to rescue people internationally from the misery of the refugee experience and support them through the process of adapting to Canadian society. This podcast is for people who want to explore this experience of sponsorship. We will take you through the practicalities, hear from sponsors and newcomers, and look at the root causes behind the global crisis of forced displacement.

Mennonite Central Committee was the first organization to sign a contract with the Canadian government to manage private sponsorship, back in 1979. Many things have changed since then, but this podcast draws on the experience of many people within MCC.

  • Where do the world's refugees flee from? Where do they go? And where does private sponsorship fit in to this big picture?
    Jan 28 2023
    For this episode we step back a bit, to look at the global picture. Brian tells us about the data that UNHCR collects, the categories of displaced people, the countries from which the largest numbers of people are leaving, the countries hosting the most, the place of private sponsorship in this big picture, and some of the other "complementary" routes to get people to safety.

  • Why are there so many refugees in the world?
    Jan 28 2023
    OK, so if you've followed us so far you will now know the basics of how to sponsor a refugee. But why has this become necessary? - why are there refugees? And why is the number of displaced people in the world steadily increasing? The answers are inevitably complex, and vary from place to place - but in this episode we offer an introduction to the root causes. Future podcasts will look at some of the issues raised in a little more detail.

    As with all things in our society, so with refugee sponsorship: sorting out the money is important.
