At RefugePoint, we believe belonging is created through community. This #GivingTuesday, you reminded us what that looks like in action. Thanks for standing with refugees and for helping keep dignity, safety, & opportunity in focus. (Missed out on Ugwa's story? refugepoint.org/ugwa-givingt...)

On #WorldHumanitarianDay, we recognize and honor those who have lost their lives working for humanitarian causes. We also celebrate those who are still working in humanitarian fields— especially those in refugee response, which has experienced unprecedented upheaval in 2025.

After fleeing violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Claire* and her family journeyed on foot, eventually reaching Kenya with the help of truck drivers. Starting over wasn’t easy: she began by hawking bottled water to make ends meet.
