Displaced and Migrant Persons Support Program offers assistance to people who have been displaced by Conflict, Economic Migration, Natural Disasters and Calamities. Displaced People, especially children, are those which through the nature of their prevailing situation are sometimes vulnerable to abuse. DMPSP strives to ensure the protection of the rights of displaced and migrant persons.

We monitor infringements on the rights of such persons, providing support and assistance to any displaced persons which have suffered as a result of such infringements, exposes human rights abuses and identifies failures in their protection. We monitor and research migration attitudes, patterns and causes of displacement, as well as providing necessary support structures to those afflicted by displacement.

DMPSP strives to vociferously announce and create awareness of the plight of displaced persons trough interactive relationships with host state governments, communities and other like minded organizations. The research, monitoring, investigating and analyzing of migration and xenophobic attitudes and incidents are of fundamental importance to the functions of DMPSP, and we strive to maintain a healthy monitoring system at ground level, observing, investigating and researching incidents of xenophobia and attitudes linked to xenophobia.

DMPSP provides displaced and migrant persons with support structures during times of crisis and emergency, which includes:
- The provision of shelter and food,
- Counselling and social welfare support and
- Legal and migration advice and support.

Our organization encourages and advocates equal opportunities for all regardless of country of origin, age, race, ethnicity, disability, sex or sexual orientation.
