Saint Andrew’s Refugee Services (StARS) was founded in 1979 by Saint Andrew’s United Church in Cairo, Egypt. StARS is a refugee service provider that works to enhance the quality of life for refugees and vulnerable migrants through four broad program areas: education, psychosocial, legal, and community outreach.
