A Refugee-Led Initiative in Nairobi
Empower. Educate. Elevate.
Refugee Thrive Initiative (RTI) helps refugees in Nairobi build digital skills, grow an income, and access real mental health support, so they can build a life here, not just get by.
Led By Refugees, For Refugees
We are not outsiders guessing what our community needs.
RTI was built by people who know displacement firsthand. We are the community, and every program we run comes from that lived experience, not a policy paper.
What We Do
Four programs, built around real needs

Why refugee-led matters
Trust is earned, not assumed. Our team has lived through displacement, resettlement, and the daily work of starting over in a new city. People open up to us because we have walked the same road.
That is not something an outside organization can replicate, and it is why our programs actually get used, week after week.
