We talk a lot about RLOs…
We act as consultants to refugee-led organisations so they can grow, get funding and transform their communities, themselves. On their own terms.

Simply having a #WorldRefugeeDay is not enough! We must hold those in power accountable, engage in honest & courageous conversations, and demand concrete actions to empower and support #refugees. Otherwise, it’s just another day with some extra posts & signs about refugees.

[Reframe @ReframeNetwork]

This #WorldRefugeeDay, on 20th June at 8pm EAT @ReframeNetwork in collaboration with @youthVoicesCom and @WeAreCohere_Org will be hosting a Twitter space with refugee leaders to discuss how to unlock barriers to #RLO access to funding and meaningful partnerships.

Funding RLOs is not as complicated as it’s made out to be. We are excited to renew the financial grants for our grantee partners to enhance their impact in the communities they serve. #RefugeesLead

Please stop referring to me as the “voice of refugees”. I am not, and I don’t want to. I want every refugee to have their own voice & a platform to share their story. Thank you

We are thrilled to learn of Ms. Angelina Jolie's interest to work directly with people & organisations led by those with lived experience of forced displacement. Solutions are indeed effective when they are led by those directly affected. #RefugeesLead
