Who We Are

Alight, formerly the American Refugee Committee, has empowered displaced communities since 1978. We aim to walk alongside displaced people, co-creating impactful programs and services tailored to their unique needs. Instead of referring to them as "beneficiaries," we proudly call them our "customers," emphasising their agency in shaping decisions that affect their lives. We strive to amplify our global reach and impact with our four affiliates.

Our Vision and Context

In a world where over 120 million people are displaced due to conflict, persecution, and climate change, Alight is committed to addressing this growing crisis. Women and children, often the most vulnerable, face compounding challenges in these situations. As instability and climate change exacerbate displacement, our work becomes more critical than ever—ensuring a future where dignity, joy, and purpose are within reach for all.

Our Mission

We are dedicated to building meaningful lives for the displaced by meeting basic needs and creating opportunities for joy, dignity, connection, and purpose.

Our Approach

At Alight, we believe in the power of collaboration. We work with displaced communities through a human-centred, co-creative approach, trusting their insight and expertise to design solutions that genuinely work for them. This innovative model sets us apart, ensuring that our programs resonate with the voices and needs of those we serve.

1. ABOUT ALIGHT:

Alight (Formerly known as American Refugee Committee) is an international humanitarian agency providing health care and clean water, shelter, protection, and economic opportunity to more than 3.5 million people in 17 countries each year. Alight sees and helps every person make meaningful change in the world – from displaced and marginalized communities in Africa, Asia and the Americas.

OUR PURPOSE

Alight exists to inspire and unleash the abundance in every person. We’re becoming an organization that sees possibility instead of scarcity, that provides services truly worthy of human beings instead of just ‘good enough.’ From the people we serve to the people who serve alongside us, our purpose is to unlock limitless potential, together. That’s when abundance happens.

WHAT WE DO

We build a meaningful life for and with the displaced. When we find people displaced from their homes, countries, or lives, our instinct may be to focus only on their basic needs. And that is essential. But it’s also not a life. A life is filled with joy, dignity, connection, and purpose. And that’s what we aim to build.

We are an open family of organizations that works closely with refugees, trafficked persons, and economic migrants, to co-design solutions that help them build full and fulfilling lives – lives that are Alight. For more information, please log in to https://wearealight.org/
