Includes bibliographical references. === Because of the country's well-established socio-economic status, citizens from many neighbouring countries, such as Zimbabwe, have resorted to seeking refuge in South Africa. Different refugee organizations, such as Adonis Musati Project (AMP) emerged in order to meet refugee needs in Cape Town. AMP was formed in 2007 with the aim of providing humanitarian assistance to refugees and asylum seekers. Named after a Zimbabwean, Adonis Musati, who died of starvation in a queue at the Department of Home Affairs, trying to access legal documentation, AMP set out to ensure that this would never happen again. The aim of this research is to explore whether the organisation is meeting its intended goal; whether it abides by any policies; what impact it has on its stakeholders; which current life stage it is facing and challenges dealt with during this period; and what effectiveness approach it uses, if any, in order to achieve sustainable growth and remain relevant in its community.
