Brief Introduction

The DRC Refugee Return Initiative (DRRI) is a non-profit organization founded to support refugees from the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) who have faced years of displacement. Our mission is to assist these individuals in returning to their homeland with dignity, providing essential resources for reintegration and rebuilding their lives.

Our Story

The DRRI was founded by refugees from the DRC who, after decades of displacement in neighboring countries, found refuge in Canada. Inspired by their journey, they formed this initiative to help fellow DRC refugees return to their homeland safely and with hope. With the support of local and international partners, we work tirelessly to provide the resources and services necessary for this transition
