REFUSHE INC
Mission Statement
Heshima Kenya serves East Africa’s most vulnerable refugees – orphaned and separated refugee girls in Nairobi, Kenya. The young women of Heshima Kenya have been separated and orphaned due to war, conflict, violence and terrorism. Heshima Kenya is the first organization in Kenya devoted to protecting unaccompanied minors and separated children and youth between the ages of 13 to 23 primarily from Somalia, Ethiopia, DR Congo, Sudan, South Sudan, Rwanda, and Burundi. After nearly 25 years of protracted refugee crisis in Kenya, Heshima Kenya is proud to have redefined how models of protection best work for this population. Our award-winning holistic model provides short and long-term support through opportunities for refugee girls to access their human rights, experience economic success and skill development, and become leaders in their own communities. Under an umbrella of intensive case management, participants receive wrap-around services including critical medical care, shelter, education, and counseling services required to foster healing and empowerment.
