RefugePoint

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.

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.
