Refugee Story Project

Video by Brian Angers (www.atlasrosestudios.com)

Our mission is to bring the stories of refugees to light and build a community of support to help refugees meet their needs and achieve their dreams.

We envision a world where all refugees are empowered to create opportunities for themselves and others.

Refugee Story Project

Refugee Story Project was founded in 2021 by Ghazaleh Pakdel, who arrived in the U.S. as a refugee almost a decade ago herself.

Having experienced the unique challenges of refugee life herself, it was a longtime dream to start an organization that would be focused on refugees. She wanted to have a platform that both told their stories, but also supported their dreams and needs.

In 2021, after gathering together her closest friends who were advocates for refugees, Refugee Story Project was born!
