RESPECT is growing everyday, everywhere!
Welcome to RESPECT
We are an apolitical, international, not-for-profit, non-governmental organization (NGO) headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
Our flagship project is a global letter exchange program introducing refugee students to non-refugee students. This project creates pen pal relationships between the students, helping non-refugee students learn about the issues facing refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
RESPECT's goals are:
- To increase awareness of refugee issues among non-refugee students in participating countries.
- To build bridges between non-refugee students and refugee students through pen-pal letter exchange.
- To encourage students to act to raise awareness of refugee issues and to raise some funds for their refugee school.
