"Since age 12, when Syria's civil war forced me and my mother to flee after our home was bombed seven times, I dreamed of becoming a doctor." That is Alnarjes Harba. Living in a refugee camp in Lebanon, she earned her degree remotely, built a professional network, and landed an internship in healthcare architecture. She now pursues medical school in Turkey. She had a mentor. Help us give that to 100 more refugee graduates. $300 sponsors one mentorship. Every gift funds another.
Every year, millions of refugee graduates earn their degrees against impossible odds. Then they hit a wall. The job market runs on relationships built over a lifetime. Refugee graduates left all of that behind. They have the credentials. They do not have the connections. Without a mentor, a coach, or a single professional in their corner, even the most qualified displaced graduate cannot get in the room. Education opened the door. Nobody told them how to walk through it.
GMI is the largest global career mentorship nonprofit serving refugee graduates. Since day one, we have never charged students or youth partners a cent. Every mentorship is funded entirely by donors and corporate partners. Awarded UNHCR's Frame Agreement for Refugee Mentorship Services in 2026, demand has never been higher. Your gift funds a structured 10-week, one-to-one virtual mentorship connecting a refugee graduate with a professional mentor anywhere in the world. 69% hired within 6 months.
GMI's cost per mentorship has fallen from $434 to $300 as we've grown. At 20,000 students annually, it drops to $63. Every donor who joins now helps drive that curve down. By 2035, GMI's goal is to connect 250,000 students and refugee learners to employment through scalable mentorship. The refugee graduates we serve today become the professional networks of tomorrow, multiplying the impact of every dollar invested.
