Refugee protection & legal aid
Nairobi, Kenya · Q1 · 2026 · Delivered
RCK gives legal aid and protection to people who fled everything. It's the hardest version of the journey our patients are on, and RCK meets refugees when they have almost no one else.
Why we chose them
Every I-693 exam we complete is one step on someone's journey toward safety and a new start. For the refugees RCK serves, that journey begins in the hardest place of all — leaving home with nothing and no promise of welcome. RCK meets them there, with legal aid and protection when they have almost no one else.
When we set aside the first quarter of our giving, we wanted it to reach the people standing with refugees at the very beginning of that road.
