The Marjan Foundation is a Canadian nonprofit organization dedicated to relieving poverty by sponsoring and providing financial and resettlement assistance to refugees in Turkey. The foundation focuses on helping all refugees, with particular attention to those who have fled persecution due to their sexual orientation, gender identification, or as victims of human rights abuses. Since its establishment in 2016, the Marjan Foundation has expanded its scope to serve a wide range of vulnerable populations in need of support.
Mission
editThe mission of the Marjan Foundation is to alleviate poverty by offering comprehensive support to refugees who have been displaced due to persecution or conflict. This includes financial aid, resettlement assistance, and advocacy for their rights. The foundation places a special emphasis on supporting LGBTQ+ refugees and victims of human rights violations, while also extending aid to other marginalized communities.
History
editThe Marjan Foundation was founded in 2016 by Arsham Parsi in response to the escalating refugee crisis and the lack of specialized support for persecuted minorities. Initially, the foundation focused on helping LGBTQ+ refugees. However, in 2019, the foundation expanded its efforts by launching its Canadian Private Sponsorship Program[1], which provides direct financial and resettlement assistance to refugees. Over time, the foundation broadened its services to assist all individuals in need, regardless of background, while maintaining a strong commitment to human rights and social justice.
Impact
editSince its inception, the Marjan Foundation has played an instrumental role in helping refugees in Turkey find safety and rebuild their lives. Through sponsorship, financial support, and resettlement initiatives, the foundation has enabled countless individuals and families to escape poverty and persecution. The foundation works closely with international partners to advocate for refugee rights and ensure their access to essential resources.
