RefugePoint

We're pleased to share our impact from the first 3 months of 2026.

Our 2026 Q1 Report features RefugePoint's impact during a challenging time for our field. A few highlights from the quarter:

➡️ In January, we published our Theory of Change, a roadmap for how our work leads to impact for refugees.

➡️ We supported 2,564 refugees to access pathways to safety from 51 locations across 30 host countries. Our Experts submitted 2,559 people for resettlement consideration by Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and Spain.

➡️ Our Urban Refugee Protection Program (URPP) continued to deliver holistic services to refugees in Nairobi, including supporting households affected by flooding and launching a solar lamp pilot for 200 households facing frequent power outages.

➡️ We’re working to support partners and enhance capacity across the field. We trained 609 individuals from UNHCR, partner organizations, and local refugee communities.

➡️ Child Protection staff conducted and reviewed assessments for 51 refugee children.

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.

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.

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.

As resettlement numbers plummeted globally and humanitarian funding was cut across the board, RefugePoint adapted and worked to expand alternative pathways to safety for refugees.
