What is Iskashitaa?

Iskashitaa is a grass roots organization that helps in rebuilding refugees' lives. Our programs stem from a need in the refugee community and function through the kindness of local volunteers.  Please take time to learn about our harvesting, crafts, education, and advocacy work.

Our Mission

Who do we serve?

Refugee

Nearly 33 million people around the world are uprooted from their homes and communities by persecution and armed conflict. Upon arrival, the success of these families depends on the welcome they receive from their new community.
