REFUGEE AND HUMANITARIAN CENTER

NESDAC founder, Rev. Roosevelt Tarlesson believes that with his experience with refugees and the poor in U.S. particularly California, that he has an accurate understanding of how to meet the needs of refugees and resource poor. Programs aim at individuals abilities development and improvement, and communities capacities development and improvement at local level will be the most effective and sustainable approach. It is an approach that combines humanitarian assistance and self-development. Additionally, through material and cash assistance, training, education, employment, and income generating programs, we help refugees improve or acquire new skills to become self-reliant.

The goal is to provide humanitarian relief supplies, and protection for refugees; help alleviate suffering, hunger, poverty or social ills due to war, civil strife, catastrophic or societal constrains. We do this by providing direct material, financial, technical and human resources to individuals and communities.
