Global Cleveland shares the importance of recognizing World Refugee Day.
CLEVELAND — Cleveland has always been a blanket of hope and a sign of a new start for refugees from all over the world fleeing their homes in search of a better life. Monday is World Refugee Day, and Global Cleveland, an organization that helps welcome international newcomers and connects them to social and economic opportunities, said it’s important to recognize this day and the positive impact refugees have on Cleveland.
Cimperman says Cleveland’s culture has benefited from refugees. Often many didn’t want to leave their families behind, their homes, their livelihoods, all of which they worked hard to build. New research from New American Economy shows that in Northeast Ohio, 8,300 immigrant entrepreneurs generated $204.8 million in business income for Northeast Ohio.Home to three resettlement agencies, Cleveland has always been considered a safe place for refugees. It’s this reputation as being a welcoming place that keeps people coming. Most recently, Cleveland was supposed to get 400 people from Afghanistan.
“Any kind of kindness we can offer here in northeast Ohio is immeasurable in terms of how we build our community and how we give our kids something," Cimperman said.Watch this report from March 2022 below:
