1 in 72 people on earth is forcibly displaced.

"no one leaves home unless

home is the mouth of a shark

you only run for the border

when you see the whole city running as well."
 

"you have to understand,

that no one puts their children in a boat

unless the water is safer than the land"

 

"I want to go home,

but home is the mouth of a shark

home is the barrel of the gun

and no one would leave home

unless home chased you to the shore."

"Home" by Warsan Shire

OUR FOCUS

In partnership with Abara, the support of Synod of the Sun and Tres Rios Presbytery, our Blend of Focus Areas are defined through Narrative, Systems, and Personal Change.

 
Our Mission is applied in Three Ways:

We are Presbyterian by name and ecumenical and interfaith in mission.

Being a Presbyterian is neither a benefit nor an obstacle to assistance.

Neither does one need to be a Christian in order to receive assistance.

We are one participant in a wide network of shelters

on both sides of the border in collaboration with Abara.

 

We invite you to partner with Tres Rios Border Foundation

through a blend of ministries as we join where God is already on the move.

Below is a list of examples of our Core Focus Areas and the kinds of shelters

and ministries with which the foundation is partnering to accompany asylum seekers and families through direct support in response to global migration.
