About Techfugees
Tech, with — not for — displaced people
Techfugees is a global community of technologists, NGOs, entrepreneurs and displaced people co-creating digital solutions to the challenges of forced displacement.
Our mission
More than 100 million people worldwide have been forced to flee their homes. Digital tools — when designed with affected communities — can help them access information, education, employment, healthcare and protection.
We're a non-profit network connecting humanitarian organisations, technologists, researchers and refugees so that the right solutions get built, scaled, and shared.
What we stand for
People first
We centre the voices, dignity, and agency of displaced people in everything we build.
Community led
Local chapters and volunteers drive impact on the ground — we connect, amplify, and support them.
Practical innovation
We back solutions that work in the real world, not flashy demos. Field-tested over hype.
Open & global
Knowledge, tools, and networks are shared openly across borders and disciplines.
Join the movement
Whether you're an NGO, a tech professional, a researcher, or someone with lived experience of displacement — there's a place for you here.
