Hey David,

The Shift is coming, and you’re invited to be a part of it.

This innovative project – backed by game-changers like you – will help refugees rebuild their lives and help shift public attitudes towards refugees here at home.
With around 32 people displaced from their homes every single minute, tackling the refugee crisis is an enormous task. But from little things, big things grow. That's why we've created The Shift.

Over the next two years, we’ll back a small group of refugees in Kenya, helping them to create the life they want for themselves. We’ll support them with the resources they need to stabilise their lives, recover from trauma, earn an income and feel hopeful for the future again.

We’ll connect and learn directly from our inspiring local partner, RefugePoint, based in Nairobi. Not only that, but we'll take action here at home, calling on governments to step up and do more while creating more compassion for refugees.

As one of our first backers, you’ll play a crucial role in piloting The Shift.

You’ll help road-test this game-changing new model by backing refugees in Kenya, helping fund 32 places in RefugePoint’s innovative program. Through your monthly gift, you’ll also help support Act for Peace's advocacy work behind the scenes and take an active role in helping to shift attitudes, challenge stereotypes, and create more public support for refugees.

Together, we can then scale it up and start making change at the global level.

During Refugee Week, we'll jump online and meet RefugePoint staff, connect with each other, hear about the refugees you’re backing, and learn about how each element of The Shift works in more detail.

In July, if we have enough backers on board, we’ll launch the two-year pilot. Over the two years we’ll keep up to date with regular webinars with RefugePoint, take part in advocacy actions and training and share the stories of the refugees we’re backing.

Thank you so much for your support. We are so excited to see the future of this program and truly believe it will help us get closer to our mission of creating a world where everyone belongs.

Thank you,

Rowan
