South People's Projects

South People's Projects (SOPPRO) was established in 2004 for Francophone asylum seekers, refugees, and migrants, especially and not exclusively from the Democratic Republic of Congo, Congo-Brazzaville, Cote d'Ivoire, and Cameroun. It aims to create opportunities for and encourage active volunteering as a means of capacity building and learning for asylum seekers as a contribution to Welsh society; to relieve poverty amongst African people in Wales; to increase education and training opportunities for refugees and their dependents; to raise awareness of and remove myths about refugees and asylum seekers to increase community cohesion; and to encourage entrepreneurship.
