VERMONT REFUGEES & IMMIGRANT SERVICES

Vermont Refugees & Immigrant Services assists refugees, low-income, and
religious minorities in establishing a home in Chittenden County Vermont by
providing educational, cultural, and leadership development opportunities
through community organization efforts to address systemic racism and to embrace
diversity within the fabric of cultural institutions by promoting change,
equity, and peace.




WHO ARE THE SOMALI BANTU?

The Somali Bantu represent a traditionally subjugated and oppressed cultural
group in Africa. They have been victims of persecution, prejudice, oppression,
and violence. The Somali Bantu were barred from political participation and land
ownership, were prevented from intermarrying, had limited access to formal
education and were relegated to service and labor intensive positions regardless
of their training. Due to this many Somali Bantu are illiterate and have very
limited job skills.
