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.
2025 marks our 20th anniversary! This year, we will share the story of where we came from, how we’ve adapted to new global challenges, and where we’re headed.
Imagine a future where people don’t have to risk their lives in search of a safe place to call home. Where they are welcomed with open arms. RefugePoint is working to make this future a reality.
The life-saving US Refugee Admissions Program has been dismantled after 45 years. RefugePoint mourns the loss of this vital tool of American diplomacy and human rights.
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.
Hear directly from those we serve around the world. Explore how individuals overcome incredible challenges, rebuild their lives, and contribute to their communities.
“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
“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.”
