Our mission is to partner with local ngos and duty bearers to strengthen protection and self-reliance among urban refugees, internally displaced persons (idps) and host communities near conflict zones.rpi and community-led partners respond to some of the world's most complex humanitarian crises, including wars in gaza-israel, ukraine, syria, lebanon and the turkey-syria earthquakes aiding close to 1 million civilians. Founded in 2015, rpi prioritizes community-led relief and has conducted cross-border aid deliveries to ukraine. Rpi supports refugee women's empowerment with its partners by funding livelihoods training overseas and selling refugee-made crafts in the us to aid displaced communities, with proceeds also supporting malnutrition screening, treatment and education for conflict-affected children.
