GroundUp Global is a local think tank for creative global action that advocates adaptability over sustainability. Our efforts support the initiatives of motivated local activists in West Africa who envision a better future for their community. We believe that by using a global network to share capital, resources, and knowledge at a local level, we can build positive change from the ground up.
On February 7, 2012, the United Nations High Commission for Refugees announced its intention to revoke the crucial status of all Liberian refugees in five months. If refugees do not repatriate or gain residence permits, they become persons without rights. The UNHCR only offers limited repatriation assistance to refugees who have UN-issued ID cards, yet about half the population on the Buduburam Camp in Ghana remain without any form of identification. Despite these numbers, the UN has made no effort to register the roughly 12,000 refugees who will be left without networks, without options, and without rights come June 30, 2012. GroundUp global is addressing this in two ways, first by building a support network of companies, organizations, and individuals who can help facilitate reintegration. Second by constructing a temporary halfway-house on the border of Liberia and Cote d'Ivoire where incoming refugees can sleep, eat, and find opportunities through our network.
