Our approach
Cash first. Goods only when cash can't.
There is now twenty years of humanitarian evidence that wherever there is a functioning local market direct cash transfers are the most efficient, the most dignified, and the most preferred form of assistance. People know what they need better than we do. Our default in every refugee context is unconditional cash, delivered via mobile money or pre-loaded debit, against a biometric or government-ID enrolment.
In contexts where the local market is broken siege conditions, very recent displacement, or weather-isolated areas we shift to in-kind: shelter kits, hot meals, blankets, hygiene kits. We do this reluctantly and we move back to cash as soon as markets recover. The split is reported every quarter.
We do not run camps. We do not lead displaced families across borders. As a newly registered charity, our model is to deliver only through vetted in-country partners with legal mandate and operational depth in their context. We are actively in our partnership pipeline with key humanitarian agencies and specialist refugee NGOs, and we will commission independent third-party recipient surveys (dignity, sufficiency, safeguarding) once each program track is live. Every signed MOU and the third-party survey provider will be named here as it lands.
