Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Refugees Thrive International funds holistic legal aid, educational, and health programs to ensure refugees have the protection and support they need to thrive. We focus on funding effective, local direct service organizations in the countries that neighbor crisis zones and host a disproportionate number of the world's refugees.

Program Services

Description	Grants	Expenses
Refugees Thrive raised funds this year through directed e-mails to mailing list subscribers and donation requests on social media. We dispersed $51,700 to our operating partner, St. Andrew's Refugee Service, in accordance with their 2017 funding proposal. This covered legal, educational, and psychosocial services for refugees living in Egypt, as well as college scholarships for Syrian refugee staff. St. Andrew's serves over 20,000 refugees a year. Their clients are from Syria, Sudan, South Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea, and Somalia, among other places. Our major donor this year was the Dan Cameron Family Trust - it contributed $92,888 at the end of the year. St. Andrew's proposes to use those funds to cover new program initiatives involving housing for unaccompanied minors, as well as for some general operating expenses. We have not yet dispersed these funds because we are working on the proposal. We expect to disperse them in the first half of 2018.	$51,700	$509
