Our mission is to engage in vibrant advocacy that transforms refugee self-reliance and promotes inclusion. We do this by advocating and amplifying refugee voices, educating refugees in digital skills and languages, and empowering and enhancing their welfare through community participation and the diversification of their livelihoods.

Youth Voices Community on Taking The Lead
Why is the Taking The Lead network important to you?
"The challenges us refugees face aren't just statistics, they are a call to action. This network helps bridge this gap, serving as a catalyst for action and long-term solutions."
With more funding and resources, our organisation could...
"reach more refugees and provide more comprehensive services to our people."
A shift from negative to positive narratives about refugees would lead to...
"greater impact as a lot of individuals would get help with funding and policies, thus changing the lives of many."
If refugees could influence decisions that affect them, it would mean...
"a change in the public's perception of refugees as a burden, thus giving refugees the confidence to live freely."
