We are pleased to share our Annual Report, highlighting the achievements, partnerships, and impact of the past year.
Throughout the year, we worked alongside refugee and migrant background ethnic communities, sponsor groups in the Community Refugee Sponsorship programme, community organisations, researchers, and government partners to strengthen community-led refugee sponsorship and settlement initiatives, foster social cohesion, support collaborative networks, and contribute to research, policy, and practice in Aotearoa New Zealand and internationally.
This report showcases the impact of our work supporting the Community Refugee Sponsorship programme, coordinating initiatives through The Refugee Alliance, strengthening stakeholder networks, engaging in research partnerships, and contributing to national and international discussions on refugee resettlement and complementary pathways.
It reflects the collective efforts of our staff, volunteers, partners, supporters, and community members who have helped create welcoming communities and expand opportunities for protection, inclusion, and belonging.
We invite you to explore the report and learn more about the progress made and our priorities for the year ahead.
"I have learned to love the local food, like fish and chips and pavlova. I made friends with colleagues and neighbours, and we shared stories and laughter over barbecues and dinners. I have embraced the Kiwi culture, valuing adventure, equality, and kindness.
As I look to the future, I am filled with optimism. My dreams include pursuing a career in my field, contributing to the community through volunteering, and exploring entrepreneurial opportunities.
To fellow refugees and migrants, I offer these words of encouragement: stay resilient, embrace new opportunities, cultivate gratitude, and connect with your community."

What People Say
I recommend it to anyone who loves learning at any stage. Never too late. We may think we should go always in the same direction. Sometimes, when we open our minds to explore new experiences we find programmes, like Host International. It changed my life.”
