There are more than 100 million forcibly displaced people around the world — more than at any time in modern history. RefuSHE is a US-based charitable organization that serves one of the world’s most vulnerable populations: refugee girls.
RefuSHE protects and educates girls and young women in Kenya who have been separated or orphaned due to war, conflict, violence, or drought in their home countries. Unaccompanied refugee girls and young women face a host of risks, including physical and sexual abuse, domestic servitude, forced or early marriage, and human trafficking.
RefuSHE prides itself on a holistic approach as unique as the population it serves. It offers everything from transitional housing to vocational training to trauma-informed yoga classes for refugees and staff. Since 2008, it has helped thousands of refugees become emotionally resilient and economically independent.
