Refugees: Services Advisor

refugees: Their proposed app, Pathways, is a spin-off of Services Advisor, Services Advisor, which was profiled in National Observer earlier this year, according to Vancouver Observer. The app is being used by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees UNHCR in Jordan, Turkey and Somalia, connecting people with the help and services they need. If it wins, the group plans to use the funding to help refugees and immigrants rebuild their lives in Canada. Refugees await transportation at the Hadalat Border between Jordan and Syria. Pathways would help newcomers prepare for life in Canada, even before they arrive, through navigating immigration services and employment resources in the user's native language. File photo by J.
