About Us
About us
Why AFR-SG Exist
We are a ground-up movement based in Singapore, focused on bringing about greater awareness on the issues of refugees and forced migration in the region and beyond. We feel strongly that Singapore – like many other countries – has a crucial role to play as part of the international community in responsibility-sharing when responding to the effects and consequences of global displacement.
As of September 2018, we are a member organization of the Asia Pacific Refugee Rights Network (APRRN).
In June 2021, we became a member of Bagus Together (previously Ground Up Central) under the National Volunteer and Philanthropy Centre (NVPC).
