About This Cause
What We Do REI funds support projects that provide opportunities for people to lead an independent normal life while staying near to home and their loved ones. We work towards a world where refugees around the globe are given the tools and means to develop their own future and give back to their communities. We do so by directly supporting projects that will empower them. We listen to the voices of refugees, IDPs (internally displaced people), returnees as well as the local communities in the host country to understand what they can do and what they want to do. We observe the results of our funding to ensure continued sustainability. We select projects that empower through four pillars: education, job creation, legal and human rights, and environment and community building. Our values REI operates according to a strict code of accountability and transparency, so that you can see for yourself exactly where, when and how your donation is making a difference. We assess all funding applications against strict criteria. Recipients of funds must provide references, audited accounts and written reports. REI will undertake field visits to assess a situation at first hand. Our approach to selecting projects emphasizes community and sustainability. Community involvement is essential to ensure that projects effectively address the specific needs of each community in a way that is sustainable and far-reaching. Correspondingly, the emphasis on sustainability ensures that beneficiary communities do not become reliant on funding, but rather develop self-sufficient means of rebuilding the strength within the community. Investing in the Future Through empowering individuals to become self-sufficient, we are building stronger communities. Sustainability Beneficiaries from the projects go on to use the skills and knowledge they have gained. By refugees, for refugees The projects are run by the local community, we have no staff in the field.
