How to Help

The academics that CARA supports often come from countries in crisis. In 2008, CARA supported individuals from Iraq, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Afghanistan and Zimbabwe. Many have lost everything - separated from their family, they have lost their home, their work and some have faced imprisonment and torture.

History proves the value of those who we have helped, and those we are helping today. Your support means that we can help them rebuild their lives and careers in safety and ensure that their skills and knowledge are not lost to future generations.

People who have been helped speak for themselves:

'We often talk about the debt we all owe to your organisation'
Sir Hans Krebs, Nobel Prize winner and CARA grantee, 1953

'CARA was a light in the darkness. I met hostility and resentment and disbelief when I asked for asylum, but CARA was always there for me, and helped me understand that the British are also compassionate and kindly.'
CARA grantee, 2008
