BASEFUGEES

There are approximately 82.4 Million forcibly displaced humans on this planet.

Half of them are under 18 years old who had no choice but to flee their home in order to escape a certain (violent) death and/or persecution. They have become “foreigners” in their own countries and “refugees” abroad. They have lost it all, left it all and are searching for a new place to call home. At the same time, all around the globe, compassionate and altruistic humans have designed & created solutions using new technologies rethinking the way we serve displaced humans’ needs & challenging the status quo. Nonetheless, these solutions are too often neglected, unknown by institutional donors, and struggle to find support to continue making a difference locally or at a larger scale. 

"Basefugees identifies, lists, curates and supports these tech-enabled solutions and their creators across the world."

WE PROVIDE A SAFE & CURATED ONLINE SPACE

To gather all those who want to / have aspired to / have succeeded in using & building technology to empower displaced humans.

WE CONNECT SIMILAR PROJECTS TOGETHER

To enable more collaboration and foster scaling up by building partnerships.

WE GATHER CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK & SUPPORT

From beneficiaries & peers around their projects.

We hope Basefugees can kick-start a new way of working and developing #tech4refugees projects in various entrepreneurial communities.  Projects that start with a discussion about ‘how about we/us’, with narratives of possibility, transparency and improvement so we start building ethical technology for and with displaced people – not solely on behalf of. Not as subjects but equal actors.
