The RefugePoint is inviting proposals for funding support from refugee-serving Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) in Nairobi, Kenya, to strengthen and expand the impact of ongoing projects to advance refugee self-reliance.
RefugePoint works to improve the quality of life for refugees worldwide through field building and systems change. They recognize the vital role that Community-Based Organizations (CBOs) play as first responders to community needs.
They are interested in sharing knowledge, skills, and learning through more direct engagement with and support to these organizations.
