A nongovernmental organization founded by former Presidents Bush, Obama and Clinton has partnered with American Express Global Business Travel and Welcome. USto fly migrants to communities across the United States.
In Sept. 2021, the three former presidents banded together behind Miles4Migrants, a charity dedicated to donating frequent flyer miles and free flights to thousands of African refugees and their family members allowing them to settle into the interior of the U.S.
As the Gateway Pundit reported, Miles4Migrants is partnered with Delta Airlines, United Airlines, Uber, and a network of over 50 nonprofit partners including the United Nations Refugee Agency.
“Donations are needed to fund the flights for newcomers to travel to the United States,” Welcome.US states on its website. “Those forced to flee often leave behind all but what they can carry, and the costs of international travel can be prohibitive. Welcome Connect Travel removes the cost of travel as a barrier for both sponsors in the United States and the displaced families they are supporting through humanitarian sponsorship.
“With the average cost of a single flight at $1,600, public donations through our partner Miles4Migrants will help provide a lifeline to newcomers, giving them the opportunity to safely travel to their new communities. Donate below to help newcomers access safe travel.”
Welcome.US was initially created for the Biden administration to facilitate international travel for 85,000 Afghans to the U.S. in 2021 and 2022.
