Our Holistic Model

Protection

Provide protection and well-being support through mental health care, mental health justice, menstrual justice, social support, and safe shelter.

Self-Reliance

Promote self-reliance through vocational skills training; skilling, reskilling and upskilling certification; functional literacy and numeracy; entrepreneurship development; and support for business start-ups.

Legal & Advocacy

Advance advocacy and community engagement through peacebuilding, legal aid support, GBV awareness and response, and community strengthening.

Refugee women and children carry overlapping needs — legal, medical, psychosocial — that no single service can meet alone. That is where our Case Management comes in, the first point of contact, building a personalized plan for every girl. 3,088+ items of material assistance distributed last year.

20,000+ refugee children in Kenya are unaccompanied or separated. Our transitional Safe House gives girls and their children a secure place to heal. 100% report feeling safer after arrival.

Kenya has just 150 psychiatrists for 50 million people. This is the gap RefuSHE’s Mental Health Department exists to close. We offer trauma-informed talk therapy and somatic healing to fill that gap for refugee girls. 83% show a decrease in psychological distress after talk therapy.

Only 37% of refugee adolescents reach secondary school worldwide. RefuSHE exists to close that gap. Our Girls Empowerment Programme gets refugee girls into school and equips them with skills for the future. 98% of GEP students earn their certificate.

60% of refugees in Kenya are unemployed, leaving many women economically dependent and at risk. RefuSHE’s Artisan Collective empowers refugee women with business skills to build sustainable livelihoods. 100% of proceeds fund RefuSHE’s mission.

Just 7% of women-owned businesses in Kenya have access to formal finance. We provide the training and capital that refugee women need to build lasting livelihoods. 700+ women have received a loan to grow their own business.

Nearly 2 in 3 refugee women in Kenya have experienced gender-based violence. We train communities how to prevent and respond to it when it happens. 70% leave feeling empowered to act.

Over 168,000 asylum-seekers in Kenya are still waiting on their refugee status decision. We help girls and women navigate documentation, reunification, and resettlement.
