If you watch any of our videos this year, let it be this one. Comment “Reunion” and we’ll DM you a link to the full video.

Family unity, a fundamental human right, should be accessible to refugees no matter where they come from or where their families are located. Yet without help, these reunions are often not possible.

Since our founding, RefugePoint has helped unaccompanied children and families like Samira and Omer reunite. This work includes deploying staff to multiple countries worldwide to assist separated family members, training organizations to do this work, and building a global network to advance family reunification

Over the next five years, we are taking our work one step further - we have pledged to lead an effort to reunite one million separated refugee families through our Refugee Family Reunification Program. But we can’t do it alone.

To fulfill this ambitious goal, we rely on the support of generous individuals like you, whether it’s through donations, spreading awareness on social media, or lending your voices to the cause. Your support is an investment in a brighter future for these families and a testament to the values of compassion and empathy that define us as a global community.

Comment “reunion” and we’ll DM you a link to donate.

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.

We’re grateful to have been part of the @givinglistwomen 2026 Summit! It was so inspiring to connect with changemakers from around the world in such a beautiful location to focus on building programs with women and girls at the center.

RefugePoint’s CEO, @sasha_chanoff, participated in the opening panel discussion “Lost and Found: The Opportunities in Disruption,” in which he spoke about the opportunity for collaboration and shared resourcing, especially in this fragmented landscape, alongside the remarkable Lehmah Gbowee of the Gbowee Peace, Alex Jakana of the Gates Foundation, and Dr Anna Malaika Tubbs.

Many thanks to Gwyn Lurie of the Giving List Women and the many new friends and partners we made!

Refugee camps are not meant to be a permanent solution to displacement. And yet, Hay Ma has lived in one for 18 years.

In many ways, this means her life is on hold. She and her family are working hard to get by, but they are waiting to begin their lives again in a new, permanent home.

As resettlement opportunities decline globally, RefugePoint is working to help find alternative solutions for refugees like Hay Ma.

When refugees have access to the right support, they can open businesses, give back, and help their communities thrive.

Our goal is to help refugees move from being dependent on aid to being self-reliant, from living in danger to living in safety.

Your continued support gives refugee families the chance to rebuild their lives, step by step, until they can stand on their own.

RefugePoint submitted Hay Ma’s family’s case for resettlement to the United States. But due to the current U.S. pause on refugee admissions, her case is on hold, and her future remains uncertain.

“I just feel a little lost hope,” she said. “But I think we will find another opportunity to live our life.”

Hay Ma was just four years old when her family fled Myanmar. Her family are members of the Karen ethnic minority in Myanmar, and were persecuted for their ethnicity.

In 2007, they fled to a refugee camp in Thailand. Now 23, Hay Ma has lived there almost her entire life.

She helps her family get by, making traditional Karen clothing and teaching at a local school, but Hay Ma is waiting to find a permanent place to call home where she can start her life.

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.

Hay Ma was just four years old when her family fled Myanmar.

“Because of the situation in Myanmar is not good for us, I and my family, we came here,” she said. Her family are members of the Karen ethnic minority in Myanmar, and were persecuted for their ethnicity. In 2007, Hay Ma and her family crossed into Thailand and settled in a refugee camp. She has been there ever since.

Now 23, Hay Ma has spent 18 years living inside the camp, nearly her entire life. Despite the constraints of displacement, she continues to support her community and dreams of a future outside the camp.

RefugePoint submitted Hay Ma’s family’s case for resettlement to the United States. But due to the current U.S. pause on refugee admissions, her case is on hold, and her future remains uncertain.

“I just feel a little lost hope,” she said. “But I think we will find another opportunity to live our life.”
