We recognise that a person’s needs are not singular, they need to be able to invest in themselves, provide for themselves and their families and determine their own future, so we take a holistic approach addressing the needs of the refugee community.

We believe in strength through partnerships, we work with Universities, the private sector, organisations and closely with the marginalised communities and refugees themselves, to tackle the challenges they are facing via innovative, sustainable and impact driven solutions.

We focus on the collaborative rebuilding of lives via three pillars:

1) Our Education pillar focuses on implementing new and improved teaching curriculum, as well as, providing a quality, holistic education to refugee children, youth and the wider community.

2) Our Enterprise pillar is a platform that allows refugee youth to develop business and creative skills, learn about sustainable practices and enjoy employment opportunities.

3) Our third pillar is Empowerment, we have a number of programmes that focus on academic and non-academic curriculum design, teacher training and capacity building through human-centred design.
