The Jesuit Refugee Service is an international Catholic
organization. Its mission is to accompany, to serve and
to plead the cause of refugees and forcibly displaced
people. The JRS was set up by the Society of Jesus in
1980 and is now working over 50 countries worldwide. JRS
works with all refugees but has a particular concern at
present for the "forgotten" refugees who have moved out
of the media spotlight. There are over 20 million
refugees worldwide. A further 25 million people are
displaced within their own countries.
