To develop and implement innovative, cost-effective and integrated intervention Programs that meet the needs of refugee women and children and facilitate their easy integration into local societies;

Overview and History of the organisation: The Refugee Children’s Project (RCP) is a relief organisation that was founded by a group of refugees in 2002. The organisation was originally formed to facilitate the integration of refugee children and refugee unaccompanied minors into South African society, the initial area of intervention being the Johannesburg Metropolitan Municipality

RCP Values:

Focus on Human Rights

Human Resource Perspective:

RCP’s staff members are the primary enablers of the strategic focus above, the achievement of which is dependent on recruiting and retaining motivated staff and continuous training to improve their capacity to meet clients’ needs. In addition, staff productivity must be enhanced and their working practices aligned to the organisation’s priorities and financial balance.

A strategic focus on human resources will enable RCP to fulfil its primary strategic objectives and thereby meet its responsibilities beyond the next five years. Furthermore, it will assist in building a stronger, more financially viable organisation that is better able to meet the various needs of refugee women and children.

RCP Organisation and Management Structure: RCP has a Governance Board with the authority to guide, control and oversee activities managed by the Management Team.
