Testimonials
"When the war started, I had to flee Kyiv with just a small bag. I lost touch with my brother who was fighting in the east. Thanks to ConnectRefuge, I received a SIM card and data bundle, allowing me to reconnect with him and receive updates on humanitarian aid locations." –

Olga, Ukrainian refugee in Poland
Marie, a 24-year-old refugee from the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), fled violence in her village and arrived at the Kakuma Refugee Camp in Kenya with nothing but a small bag. Separated from her family, she struggled with isolation, unable to communicate with her loved ones still in DRC. Through ConnectRefuge, Marie received a SIM card, mobile data, and digital literacy training, enabling her to reconnect with her family via WhatsApp and access online education. Today, she is completing an online vocational course and dreams of becoming a community advocate for refugee rights.
Impact: These stories of change highlight the power of connectivity in transforming refugee lives. By providing mobile data and airtime, ConnectRefuge is giving DRC refugees the tools they need to rebuild, reconnect, and thrive.
