RefugeRoot began with two life stories shaped by vulnerability and a shared conviction: compassion must lead to lasting change. Satya Wallin, adopted from India and raised in Sweden from the age of five, and Constant Sossoulo, born in Benin and raised in poverty in Togo by parents without access to education, came together to build practical solutions that protect children and strengthen communities.

90% of donated funds go straight to project activities (care, education, food security, livelihoods). 10% supports the essentials that make impact possible: compliance, coordination, monitoring, and transparent donor updates.
