RefugePoint partners with refugees to find long-term safety and rebuild their lives. We accomplish this through two main programmatic pillars: Self-Reliance and Resettlement & Other Pathways to Safety.
Learn how RefugePoint adapted during one of the most difficult years in the history of refugee response and expanded alternative pathways to safety for refugees.
Read Sasha Chanoff’s recent opinion piece: Without resettlement, people in life-threatening danger may never get the chance to survive or contribute to their new communities.
Our Theory of Change is a clear roadmap for how we turn our vision into action amid record levels of global displacement. It shows how our work connects across focus areas to create meaningful impact for refugees, while helping us to adjust and adapt for greater effectiveness.
Become part of a passionate community of monthly givers dedicated to transforming the lives of refugees.
Worldwide, there are over 43 million refugees who have been forced to flee their countries due to war, conflict, persecution, and human rights violations. While many organizations are quick to provide aid, most offer short-term assistance. This leaves refugees stuck in limbo with few opportunities to find long-term safety and rebuild their lives.
We focus on expanding access to lasting solutions for refugees, especially those facing vulnerabilities who are underserved by aid systems.
“This opportunity is a big one for us. There are so many people searching for this opportunity. Life was not easy. Working as a hairdresser to provide for my siblings was tough. I would often wonder: What is their future? What is our future? But this resettlement means a lot to us.”
Henry, Daniella, and Prisca
“I am content with what I have. I do not seek assistance from other people. I have a plan to expand this work by hiring people to work under me.”
Safiya
“My business was hawking bananas and melons. With the capital I received from RefugePoint, we built a kiosk and sold fruits and vegetables.”
Espes & Gentile
“In French they say, ‘I am ‘fière’ (proud) of my life now. I’m no longer seeking assistance, I’m confident in my business and now I have my own money… My life has really changed and I’m very grateful to RefugePoint and all the staff who helped me along the way.”
Umutoni
“I will become a light to my family, community, and everyone. If I tell you what the Economic Mobility Pathway means, it means life to us.”
