We Are
SafeHarbor Project

The SafeHarbor Project is an initiative led by a team of individuals deeply moved by their own experiences and the widespread issue of housing insecurity and hidden violence experienced by K-12 international students in homestay accommodations in Ontario, Canada. Recognizing that countless students face maltreatment and vulnerability due to their temporary resident status, young age, and minority backgrounds, the project aims to bring these pressing concerns to the forefront.

​

Our goal is twofold:

Firstly, to amplify the voices of affected students, ensuring their stories and challenges are heard and acknowledged as a significant societal issue.

Secondly, we seek to engage with professionals and stakeholders in the field to explore effective strategies for support and intervention, ultimately fostering a safer and more supportive environment for these young individuals.

 

Through collaboration, research, and advocacy, SafeHabor is committed to creating meaningful change and promoting the well-being and security of K12 international students in homestay settings.
