Meeting the Needs of Asylum Seekers within
a Supportive Community
in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont
NEKASAN helps asylum seekers get released from detention by providing sponsorship, hosting, support and a welcoming community
We assist our guests by helping meet their legal, medical, educational, employment, material, transportation, housing and other needs
After fleeing violence and persecution in their home countries, asylum seekers are detained for an indefinite period of time in the U.S.
They need our help, now more than ever, due to the unsanitary, crowded conditions in the detention centers and shelters and the spread of Covid-19
