Set up by the Eritrean community in London in 2018 we help traumatised unaccompanied young asylum seekers and refugees from the Horn of Africa, providing a warm welcome in a safe space, a refuge from the hostile environment, mentoring and advocacy, and a range of wholesome empowering activities.

Story

Hi. My name is Mario, and I am a refugee from Horn of Africa

I know what it means to lose everything and start over. But I also know the power of hope... and kindness.

Even with the little I have, I am donating what I can to help other refugees - because we all deserve dignity, safety, and a chance to rebuild.

I am supporting Da’aro Youth Project, a charity that stands with young refugees like me. Living in the home office hotel will put you through a lot of stress, but joining the Injera club meant a lot to me. With Da’aro, I could connect with my community, eat food from my home country and I got to go on an amazing canoeing trip! Also, while I was looking for an online course, Da’aro provided me with a laptop to support my studies!

This is not just a donation. It's a message: We are still here. We still matter. And together, we can make a difference.

Join me. Let's help each other rise — with Da’aro Youth Project! 🧡
