To commemorate International Child, we celebrate the 60 million refugee women worldwide, a remarkably resilient population navigating dangerous new environments and social/legal structures that are failing them. At RefuSHE, we refuse to let their stories end in vulnerability. We are actively rewriting the narrative by providing: 
 
Holistic protection: Safe housing and trauma-informed care tailored specifically to the needs of unaccompanied and separated young women.
 
Empowerment through education: Specialized schooling, digital literacy, and vocational training to build independent, self-sustaining futures.
 
Legal and medical advocacy: Defending their rights, prioritizing their health, and training community members as Anti-GBV Champions to shift the culture from the ground up.
 
Join us in demanding better protection, fiercer advocacy, and brighter futures for refugee girls everywhere.

Refugees are economic actors, entrepreneurs, workers and consumers. When systems allow them to participate fully, their contribution extends beyond individual livelihoods to the strength and resilience of the communities that host them.

Meet Achol, a South Sudanese-Kenyan refugee 🇸🇸 🇰🇪 and RefuSHE Fashion & Design student. Achol has dreamed of working in the fashion industry for as long as she can remember.

“I had always wanted to study fashion, but there was no one who could pay for my tuition, so I wasn’t able to enroll in college,” she said. “Instead, I decided to do whatever small jobs I could find. I thought maybe I could save enough to pay for one term, then go back to work, save again, and continue my studies little by little until I achieved my dream.”

This January, Achol enrolled in RefuSHE’s Fashion & Design course, as part of a 30-student cohort. The program runs through December and culminates in an internship.

“Coming to RefuSHE has taught me so much. I’ve learned how to use a sewing machine, draft patterns, sew garments, and work confidently with sewing tools. Now I can make shirts, dresses, skirts, handbags, and many other items.”
