HostNation believes every refugee deserves a friend.
A digital means of connecting those offering friendship with those needing it.
We are an introductory service dedicated to connecting people in their communities. A befriender commits to meeting the refugee or asylum seeker that they are introduced to socially for a minimum of 3 hours once a fortnight over a period of 3 months.
