Refuge Foundation was borne out of a desire to be of assistance to victims of war/conflict and other persons who have been compelled to leave their homes behind in search of safety. There are different reasons why persons are forced to flee their homes – persecution, conflict, human rights violations, adverse effect of climate change, natural disasters and development projects - but the over-riding cause of displacement globally is conflict. 

Africa is worse hit by displacement. More tragic is that while the displacement crisis grows in Africa, the general populace is largely unaware; and our governments do not have the capacity to tackle this ‘avoidable’ challenge we have brought upon ourselves.
