About Us
Global Refugee Aid (GRA) is a UK-registered charity founded in 2018. We are dedicated to
supporting refugees, internally displaced persons, and underserved populations, particularly
women, girls, and individuals with albinism, in overcoming the unique challenges they face.
Through trauma counselling, livelihood training, and health education, we empower these
communities to rebuild their lives with dignity and resilience.
Our mission is to create opportunities for marginalized groups to thrive while addressing
discrimination and fostering inclusion. A significant focus of our work is on improving health
outcomes, including raising awareness and providing support for breast cancer and other
critical health challenges. Together, we are making a meaningful difference and building a
brighter future for displaced and underserved communities.
Our Vision
Our vision is a world where all displaced and marginalized individuals live with dignity, opportunity, and equality, free from discrimination and suffering.
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower marginalized communities by providing trauma counseling, livelihood training, and essential support, restoring hope and dignity to refugees and individuals with Albinism
Our Values
We value compassion, empowerment, inclusivity, integrity, and resilience in all our efforts to support marginalized communities
Our Achievement:
GRA has established a network of community-based workers across refugee settlements,
including Nakivale. These workers, who are refugees themselves, act as the ‘eyes and ears’
of their communities. They identify individuals and vulnerable families in need of assistance
and provide them with ongoing care and support.
We have provided reproductive and maternal health training to over 160 teenage women,
equipping them with vital knowledge to prevent pregnancy, AIDS, and other sexually
transmitted diseases.
GRA also works with particularly disadvantaged and discriminated groups, including adults
and children with albinism. We currently support a group of 85 individuals with albinism by
distributing skin-protective equipment and delivering health education to prevent skin
cancer. In addition, we conduct community-based campaigns to address and reduce the
stigma that albino refugees face.
Another significant achievement is our ongoing work focusing on breast cancer across
Africa. The lack of equipment and awareness often results in preventable and unnecessary
deaths. To combat this, we are bringing better solutions, partnering with volunteer doctors
and healthcare professionals who selflessly dedicate their expertise to helping underserved
populations. Together, we are striving to improve access to care and save lives in some of
the most vulnerable communities.
Empowering Lives, Restoring Hope
Global Refugee Aid (GRA), founded in 2018, is a UK-registered charity dedicated to
transforming the lives of refugees across Africa. We focus on supporting those most
vulnerable and often discriminated against, including women, girls, youth, and individuals
with albinism.
Through trauma counseling, livelihood training, and entrepreneurship skills, we empower
refugees to rebuild their futures with dignity and hope. We establish support groups to
combat discrimination and deliver vital health resources, ensuring that even within refugee
camps, no one is left behind.
GRA is committed to creating opportunities and fostering resilience for those who have fled
conflict and persecution. By addressing stigma, providing essential resources, and
championing equality, we are building brighter, more inclusive futures for some of the most
marginalized communities.
The Power of Sports in Trauma Relief
We believe in the unifying and transformative power of sports to heal and uplift. Our sports programs create safe spaces for refugees and displaced individuals to rebuild confidence, form connections, and find emotional relief. By blending physical activity with trauma recovery, we empower participants to overcome past hardships, embrace teamwork, and rediscover a sense of purpose. Through sports, GRA is turning play into progress, helping communities heal, grow, and thrive.
The Places We Heal
Linking Housing and Health For Better Futures
Ending Homelessness In Africa
Millions of refugees across Africa face the harrowing reality of homelessness, displaced by war, persecution, or disaster. Without a place to call home, they are trapped in a cycle of uncertainty, lacking the stability needed to rebuild their lives. But homelessness isn’t just a lack of shelter – it’s a barrier to dignity, safety, and opportunity. For refugees, ending homelessness means more than four walls; it’s about restoring hope and creating a foundation for the future.
Our Mission: No Refugee Left Homeless
We envision an Africa where no refugee is forced to sleep in the open, where every displaced family has access to safe, dignified, and permanent housing. Through innovative programs and unwavering commitment, we aim to break the cycle of homelessness in refugee communities and ensure no one is left behind.

Why Act Now?
Every day, refugees lose precious time waiting for the shelter they need to rebuild their lives. Homelessness doesn’t just hold refugees back – it holds entire communities and generations in poverty. Together, we can turn despair into hope, giving every refugee the foundation to thrive.
Together, We Can Build a Better Future
Homelessness among refugees in Africa is not an unsolvable problem – it’s a challenge we can overcome together. By providing safe and sustainable housing, we’re not just building homes; we’re creating opportunities, restoring dignity, and offering hope to those who need it most. Every brick laid and every life transformed is a step closer to a future where no refugee is left without shelter. But we can’t do it alone. As a Donor, a volunteer, or an advocate – and help us create a world where every refugee has the foundation to thrive. Together, we can end homelessness and empower communities to rise stronger than ever.
