RefuSHE identifies, protects and provides resources for refugee children and youth in Kenya.
Girl's Empowerment Program (GEP) - Multi-phase accelerated education and empowerment program that allows participants to access basic education and vocational opportunities, learn about their human rights, and cultivate their leadership skills. GEP is a community that provides safety, healing, and skill-enhancement for girls and young women on their journey to self-reliance. Participants engage in alternative education, life skills, vocational training, and income-generating projects.
Safe House (SH) - Provides protection and transitional shelter for unaccompanied and separated refugee girls under 18 years old and their children who lack adequate or safe living conditions. On occasion, we also shelter refugee women over 18 and young refugee boys under the age of 9 on a short-term basis with extremely vulnerable security cases. All residents receive intensive case management and psychosocial counseling in addition to shelter, nutritious meals, and material supplies to address their basic needs.
Livelihoods / Artisan Collective - The Artisan Collective is RefuSHE's social enterprise and income-generating component. Young women design, create, and manage a line of unique, hand-dyed fabrics, and other textiles while gaining production, manufacturing, and marketing knowledge. The Artisan Collective's business skills and financial literacy training curriculum serves as a foundation to their future success as entrepreneurs. Participants earn a stipend and are required to save $10 each month in a savings account. Through monthly earnings, members of the Collective can pay their rent, feed their families, and cover household expenses, while their savings help them to eventually launch their own businesses. Products from the Artisan Collective are sold in local and international markets and the revenue generated is invested back into our programs.
