Through their extensive work with refugee communities
in East Africa, co-founders Anne Sweeney and Talyn Good saw that the most
vulnerable refugees—separated and orphaned girls and young women—often
fell through the gaps of protection and became invisible. Understanding
the risk of exploitation and abuse facing refugee girls in Kenya and in their
home countries, Anne and Talyn took action. They created a
one-of-a-kind community for young, refugee women to learn, grow, and become
leaders in their own right.
Over a decade later, RefuSHE
has served thousands of women, girls, children, and infants through our holistic model. They are the first and only
organization dedicated to refugee girls in Kenya. RefuSHE's programs have grown
alongside the young women they serve, ensuring that their organization is designed
for and about Kenyan women.
