Refugees are capable The definition of refuge is “a condition of being safe or sheltered from pursuit, danger, or trouble.” Synonyms include shelter, safety, sanctuary, and asylum. Refuge is the immediate need and refuge is often where the focus remains. But restoration is “the action of returning something to a former owner, place, or condition.” Synonyms include mending, repairing, and rebuilding.
Refuge isn’t meant to be the end goal. Restoration is. Through our experience and the success of our program, Seed Effect is uniquely positioned to act as a catalyst that shifts the world's response to refugee crises. As we expand in Uganda and beyond our hope is for more refugees to gain access to the empowering tools they need, including Christ-centered, saving-led microfinance.
