Who are we? What do we do?

We are people from around the world. We are Baha'i, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Sikh, and Unitarian. We are native born Americans and we are refugees and immigrants from all parts of the world. We speak many different languages. We are black and white and all of the colors of the human family. We are your neighbors, and very possibly we are part of your family. We invite you to join us in our mission to form a united community of many cultures.

We help Americans learn how to communicate with and work with their new refugee and immigrant neighbors. We provide seminars on cross-cultural communications and we provide cultural competency training for helping professionals throughout North Carolina. We teach a variety of foreign languages. We also sponsor annual events to celebrate the cultural and religious diversity within our region. At the same time, we teach refugees and immigrants how to speak English, how to live productively in American society, and how to prepare to become US Citizens.

Our Immigrant Assistance Center provides direct assistance to any immigrant or refugee. Each year, we assist several thousand people from more than 50 nations, helping them solve a wide range of social, economic, or legal problems. FaithAction International House is funded by gifts from individuals and religious congregations from throughout the Greater Greensboro area. For more information, email info@faihouse.org.
