Refugee Protection International (RPI) and community-led partners respond to some of the world’s most complex humanitarian crises, including the wars in Gaza-Israel, Ukraine, Syria, the Turkish-Syrian earthquake, and the Syrian war’s impact in neighboring Lebanon and southeast Turkey.Founded in late 2015, RPI prioritizes swift, community-led relief efforts co-designed or launched with RPI’s support. RPI staff and volunteers also do cross-border relief deliveries to Ukraine’s frontlines, and bring refugee-made crafts from Ukraine and Middle East training programs to the US market to support women’s self-reliance. Efforts have assisted 1/2 a million refugees, IDPs, and locals in Ukraine, Syria, Turkey, Lebanon, and as of 2024 in Gaza-Israel. We are a tax-exempt 501(c)3 public charity based in Greater Boston, USA.
