Yuliia

Hello everyone! I'm Yuliia Petrychenko, and my journey brought me from Ukraine to Toronto, Canada, where I've been living with my husband for two years now.

Gabriel

My name is Gabriel Lawyer, but you can call me Gabriel Hanson. I'm 33 years old and originally from the Central Region of Ghana. Back home, I left behind a loving family – my parents, three siblings, and my dear wife and sweet daughter. 

Refugees post requests for help, Canadians post offers to help. You select who, how and when you help. 30 minutes is enough to help a refugee.

Help a refugee in your community, today.

Meet the team behind Haven

We are a team of Canadians and newcomers who care about improving the Canadian resettlement system for those fleeing conflict.

  • What is Haven?
    Haven is a registered Canadian charity that connects refugees and newcomers fleeing conflict with Canadians who can help. More refugees are arriving in Canada than ever before, and we believe that Canadians—both individuals and companies—want to help. By making it easier to know who needs support and how to offer it, we aim to make Canada the best country in the world at welcoming refugees.
  • How does the matching process work?
    After signing up, you’ll create a profile and share what kind of help you can offer (or what kind of support you need). From there, you can browse profiles and connect with someone who’s a good fit. Once you’ve both agreed to the match, you can start chatting right away!
  • How is Haven different from other refugee support programs?
    We’re all about one-on-one, flexible connections. Haven isn’t a big commitment—think of it as a simple way to make a meaningful impact, even if all you can do is have a 30-minute conversation with someone looking for language practice. By making it easier to help, we hope to get more Canadians involved in helping refugees.
  • What do I need to create an account?
    Just an email address and a few details about yourself. We’ll also verify your identity for safety. You can verify your ID online instantly or schedule a verification video call with a Haven employee.
  • Do I need to meet in person, or is this virtual?
    It’s up to you! Most connections happen virtually, but if you and your match agree, you can meet in person. We recommend meeting in public places like cafes and following basic safety protocol, like when you meet any other stranger.
