Our Community Services

With Real Refugee Experience

Community First

One of the core beliefs underlying the activities of the CRDI and the reason we found our organization is our belief that refugee led organizations are best positioned to help other refugees who share the same struggles at some point in their journeys, as well as facilitate connection of the continuously growing Rohingya community with local resources in the Kitchener-Waterloo area.
