Finding Refuge Together benefits RefugePoint
Why Support Us
RefugePoint seeks to expand access to lasting solutions for refugees, especially those facing vulnerabilities who are underserved by aid systems.
RefugePoint was founded in 2005 after realizing hundreds of thousands of refugees were slipping through the cracks of humanitarian aid, with few lasting solutions available to help them rebuild their lives. At that time, tens of thousands of resettlement slots in the U.S. were going unfilled each year. RefugePoint played a critical role in ensuring that the refugees facing the most extreme vulnerabilities could access those existing resettlement opportunities and relocate to safety, with the aim of transforming the resettlement system.
Resettlement and Other Pathways to Safety
Many refugees can’t go home or remain safely in the country to which they’ve fled. We help these people relocate to a safe, new country through resettlement and other pathways, like labor mobility and family reunification, so they can begin to rebuild their lives. We refer refugees
directly to governments for resettlement consideration in Nairobi, as well as through a partnership with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) globally.
Our Labor Mobility program connects refugees to job opportunities in markets where employers are looking for skilled workers. Through our Family Reunification program, we help reunite refugee families who have been separated.
Self-Reliance
Most refugees won’t have the opportunity to resettle or return to their homes. For refugees who are stuck in the country to which they have fled, we help them reach stability and work towards self-reliance, so they can meet their own essential needs.
RefugePoint’s Urban Refugee Protection Program (URPP) in Nairobi, Kenya, identifies refugee households facing extreme vulnerabilities and first helps to stabilize them with services like: food, rent, medical, education, and counseling support. Once their basic needs are met, we provide livelihood support to help them earn an income. This gives them a ‘runway’ to achieve a degree of self-reliance. Through the Refugee Self-Reliance Initiative (RSRI), we help promote opportunities for refugees to become self-reliant and achieve a better quality of life on a global scale.
