RefugePoint

RefugePoint RefugePoint partners with refugees to access life-changing solutions and transforms how the world supports them.

We envision an inclusive world where all refugees can build stable, connected, & thriving lives. We work to fill the critical and unmet needs of people affected by war and conflict who have fallen through the net of humanitarian assistance, in particular women, children and urban refugees.

Looking ahead to the future ➡️

RefugePoint's Senior Leadership Team based in Nairobi, Kenya met with COO Jenn Wilson in Mua Hills, Kenya last week. Five days of planning gave the group time to reflect on leading change, supporting staff and clients in times of uncertainty, progress made on RefugePoint’s 5-year strategy, priorities for the year ahead, and more. This focused time helped to ensure alignment and shared understanding of the path forward.

Unfortunately, many refugees can’t go home and can’t safely stay in the country to which they have fled. We help these people relocate to a safe, new country, through resettlement or other legal pathways, so they can begin to rebuild their lives.

Read more about this work, and how we pivoted to the changing refugee response landscape, in our 2025 Annual Report (link in the comments).

We help refugees in many countries around the world relocate to safe, new countries, through resettlement or other legal pathways, so that they can begin to rebuild their lives.

A complementary pathway is any legal pathway outside of traditional resettlement, through which refugees can permanently relocate to safety. We help refugees access complementary pathways like family reunification and labor mobility.

When refugees have access to the right support, they can open businesses, give back, and help their communities thrive.

Our goal is to help refugees move from being dependent on aid to being self-reliant, from living in danger to living in safety.

Your continued support gives refugee families the chance to rebuild their lives, step by step, until they can stand on their own.

Through our Urban Refugee Protection Program in Nairobi, Kenya, we identify refugees and Kenyans experiencing extreme vulnerabilities and help to stabilize them with holistic, tailored services such as food, rent, medical services, education support, and counseling. Once their basic needs are met, we provide livelihoods support, focused on micro-business development, to help them earn an income. This includes business training, business plan development, and micro-grants. This gives them a ‘runway’ to engage in economic pursuits and achieve a degree of self-reliance—to earn sufficient income to cover their essential needs and improve their quality of life.

On average, households are ready to graduate from the program after two years.

Hay Ma was just four years old when her family fled Myanmar.

“Because of the situation in Myanmar is not good for us, I and my family, we came here,” she said. Her family are members of the Karen ethnic minority in Myanmar, and were persecuted for their ethnicity. In 2007, Hay Ma and her family crossed into Thailand and settled in a refugee camp. She has been there ever since.

Now 23, Hay Ma has spent 18 years living inside the camp, nearly her entire life. Despite the constraints of displacement, she continues to support her community and dreams of a future outside the camp.

RefugePoint submitted Hay Ma’s family’s case for resettlement to the United States. But due to the current U.S. pause on refugee admissions, her case is on hold, and her future remains uncertain.

“I just feel a little lost hope,” she said. “But I think we will find another opportunity to live our life.”

RefugePoint staff members are working to find alternative solutions for refugees like Hay Ma around the world facing similar circumstances.

We're excited to share a preview of our 2025 Annual Report, highlighting what we accomplished together over one of the most challenging years our sector has faced.

Aurora is at the 2026 Skoll World Forum in Oxford this week. On Day 2, Director of Impact Colin Thomas-Jensen joined International Refugee Assistance Project and RefugePoint for "Who Decides What Works? Lessons from Refugee-Led Solutions" — a session on the Forum's sidelines.

The conversation moved across humility, power, and the structural barriers that keep local leaders from the decisions that most directly affect their communities. It examined what listening demands of institutions, what bureaucracy costs in practice, and what the sector stands to gain when proximity to a problem is treated as expertise rather than context.
