ABOUT US
The Refugee Children's Project (RCP)
The Refugee Children’s Project (RCP) is a homegrown humanitarian organization, established in 2002 by a dedicated group of refugees in Johannesburg-South Africa.
RCP initially aimed to ease the integration of refugee children and unaccompanied minors into South African society.
However, the organization’s mission has broadened over time. Today, RCP extends its reach to a wider community, encompassing asylum seekers, refugees, migrant women and families, alongside vulnerable South African children, women, and families.
