Help us change the way the world sees refugees.
Refugees know their communities best. We believe they should have the power and resources to shape the solutions that affect their lives.
We help refugee-led organisations lead their own solutions.
Learn how we jointly create real, transformative change.
Impact
We strengthen Refugee-Led Action.
Same Skies works alongside refugee-led organisations to strengthen the leadership, skills, systems, partnerships and resources they need to turn their ideas into lasting solutions.
We provide support where it is needed, while keeping decision-making and leadership in the hands of the people with lived experience.
We don’t decide what communities need. We help create the conditions for refugee-led organisations to lead.
Stories
Behind every organisation, project and idea are people with their own stories, experiences, hopes and dreams.
Every person has a story to tell—of where they come from, the people and places that have shaped them, the experiences that have changed them, the challenges they have faced, and the things they hope for in the future.
These stories remind us that there is always more to a person than the circumstances that brought them to where they are today.
Meet some of the people we have had the privilege of getting to know.
About us
In 2014, Brad, Julia and Laura met while working with displaced people in Nauru.
A few years later, when refugee families in Indonesia reached out for help, they listened—and acted.
Driven by a belief in refugee leadership and agency, they founded Same Skies.
Today, we work alongside refugee-led organisations across Southeast Asia, supporting them to lead and strengthen their own communities.
Invest in refugee-led solutions
When refugees have the resources and support to lead, entire communities benefit.
Your support helps refugee-led organisations strengthen their leadership, develop sustainable systems, access resources and build the partnerships they need to turn community priorities into lasting solutions.
Support Refugee-Led Action and help shift power towards the people closest to the challenges.
