New Empowerment for Refugees (NER), Inc. (NER) is a 501 (c) 3 organization registered in 2013that started as the vision of Etienne Ahayo after he fled his home country of Congo during the ethnic violence that engulfed the region in a few years back. He was briefly reunited his family when approved for resettlement in the United States. Etienne endured many struggles and hardships after his arrival to the United States. After overcoming many difficulties, Etienne was passionate about helping other refugees, and vulnerable groups in communities in which they reside who endured similar circumstances. The services offered by NER are designed to help other refugees and their families from Europe, Central America, Africa and elsewhere who have been relocated by UNHCR in the United States and other agencies as they seek safety and peace. We strive for diversity, equity and inclusion for vulnerable refugees and are committed to these values across all our work and generate better ideas to solve the complex challenges of a changing and increasingly diverse world. New Empowerment for Refugees (NER) is dedicated to helping refugees integrate into American society and become self-sufficient as soon as possible. We feel strongly that there is no reason for this vulnerable group to endure the struggles of others that came before them.
