ABOUT US

Refugio Seguro was born from lived experience.

Our founder, grew up navigating the silent weight of childhood adversity where trauma was unnamed, support was scarce, and dignity felt distant. Those early experiences didn’t break her. They became the foundation of a vision: to create safe spaces where healing is possible, protection is intentional, and hope is restored.

We work at the intersection of mental health, social protection, and social justice, guided by trauma-informed principles and survivor-centered values.

We don’t just respond to harm; we work to prevent it. We advocate for systemic change in favor of the groups we serve, partnering with like-minded organizations, health directorates, social welfare offices, and correctional institutions to build a more compassionate Ghana.

 

Our legacy is one of transformation.

Every life rebuilt, every family reunited, every system reshaped is part of the story. Refugio Seguro stands as a refuge and a movement for those who deserve healing, dignity, and a future.
