RefuSHE's holistic approach to protecting, educating, and empowering young refugee women has been a successful model of support for the last 15 years.
Since 2008, RefuSHE has provided services to 3,150+ young refugee women, girls, and their children in East Africa, including 1,000+ girls in the Girls Empowerment Program (GEP) and 884+ children and young women in the Safe House. We’ve also reached 26,000+ urban refugees, host community members, and local government officials through our Community-Based Protection & Livelihoods initiatives in Nairobi.
Our goal is to support even more Nairobi-based refugees in 2024, but we need your help.
Will you help us ensure that every new refugee girl who enters our program has access to a safe, empowering community and an equal opportunity to learn?
This holiday season, every gift made to RefuSHE will be matched up to $15,000 by The Christopher Family Foundation!

What would be possible if every refugee girl had the resources to reach her full potential?
The global refugee crisis is more severe today than ever before. There are now 100 million forcibly displaced people around the world, including 27 million refugees—more than at any time in modern history.
RefuSHE meets the unique needs of urban refugee girls in Kenya who are excluded from the formal labor market and vulnerable to sexual and gender-based violence. Our model aligns with broader government initiatives related to education, skills development, employment, and economic growth. The challenge? The demand for our services far outstrips the number of people we can currently assist.
Now more than ever, we have a responsibility to ensure young refugee women do not fall through the gaps of provision.
Help us raise $15K by the end of the year so we can continue to provide the short and long-term support refugee girls need to become emotionally resilient and economically independent.
