Advocating for the Resettlement of Afrikaner Families

Upholding Family, Faith, and Freedom

When Afrikaner families face danger, injustice, or displacement due to violence, targeted policies, or rural insecurity, we believe the response of Christian nations should be clear: open the door, prepare the way, and walk with them.

The Afrikaners in Christ Council of America advocates for lawful pathways for families of Afrikaner heritage to resettle in safety without losing their cultural identity or faith foundation. Our mission is to preserve not only lives, but dignity, language, and legacy.

A Christian Nation’s Moral Responsibility

America has long stood as a beacon of religious liberty and family protection. Throughout history, it has welcomed those whose values align with its founding principles—faith, hard work, and the right to raise children in peace.

Afrikaner families today face mounting pressures. Targeted attacks, systemic exclusion, and violent dispossession have forced many to seek help beyond their borders. Our goal is not to politicize their plight—but to act.

We work to ensure the U.S. government understands the value Afrikaners bring, the real risks they face, and the networks of support already in place to walk with them in their new chapter.

Common Questions: Resettlement FAQ

  • We assist Afrikaner families who have experienced or sustained personal, physical, or economic threats in their homeland—particularly those affected by rural violence, political targeting.

  • Resettlement is the structured process through which a family facing untenable conditions is assisted in lawfully starting a new life in the United States. This includes secure housing, orientation, job support, schooling for children, and placement within familiar church and community settings.

  • Every family undergoes rigorous screening by the U.S. and international authorities. This includes background checks, biometric verification, interviews, and identity documentation. Only after passing this process are families permitted to enter.

  • The U.S. government provides limited initial funding to nonprofit agencies. However, much of the real support comes from community groups, churches, and donors who feel called to assist. In the case of Afrikaner families, many also contribute their own funds or arrive with professional skills.

  • Afrikaner families are placed in communities where existing church and cultural networks exist. We prioritize housing near Afrikaans-speaking congregations, family-friendly environments, and employment opportunities.

  • Absolutely not. Most Afrikaner arrivals come with a strong work ethic, high levels of education, and a commitment to self-sufficiency. Within months, many are fully independent and contributing to their new communities—working in trades, farming, education, and business.

  • You can:

    • Advocate for continued or expanded access to lawful resettlement for Afrikaner families

    • Speak with your church, civic leaders, or elected officials about supporting this mission

    • Co-sponsor a family through your local congregation

    • Pray with us and give to sustain this calling

  • Yes. Every family must go through a rigorous and multi-layered vetting process before being allowed to enter the United States. This includes biometric checks, national security screening, personal interviews conducted by U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and medical examinations.

    Only after successfully completing this thorough process are families eligible for relocation support.

    Once approved, families are connected with one of the designated national organizations that assist with resettlement. These partners help with securing housing, identifying employment opportunities, enrolling children in school, and providing guidance on cultural orientation, English language support, and community integration—all within networks that respect their faith and traditions.

Why It Matters

Afrikaner families don’t ask for pity. They ask for a path forward, a place to raise their children without fear, and a chance to build a life that honors their history and their faith.

We advocate—not for special treatment—but for fair access, honest recognition, and the chance to thrive.
