Highlights from our 2024 First Quarter Report include:
In February, RefugePoint staff traveled to Washington D.C. to meet with staff from the National Security Council, the State Department, and the World Bank, among others, to discuss refugee self-reliance. Our aim is to help more refugees pursue livelihoods wherever they are and achieve economic and social inclusion.
RefugePoint helped 4,419 refugees access pathways to relocate to safety, including resettlement, family reunification, employment, sponsorship, and other pathways, from 100 locations in 26 countries worldwide.
