REFUNITE is expanding

One of our joys as Nairobi Garage is seeing companies within our space grow. Refugees United (REFUNITE), one of the strong members of this family has just announced job openings. REFUNITE is a company that uses mobile technology to report, track, trace and reunite refugees with their loved ones.

Through a powerful platform that can allow access via text messaging, computers and telephones, REFUNITE has over 405,000 profiles of refugees and has witnessed heart-melting reunions through it. Its presence in Kenya, Uganda, South Sudan, Somalia, Jordan, Turkey, DRC, Philippines and Iraq signifies and compounds the need for such a platform to alleviate and heal the wounds of war and calamity.

The company is seeking 6 amazing team players to join the cause;
