Our Core Belief

We believe beauty is how people rebuild.

Everyplace partners with refugee communities to create beauty, belonging, and dignity in the places they're living right now—because life doesn't pause in displacement, and dignity can't wait for policies to catch up.

The Problem

More than 75% of refugees live away from home for years, sometimes decades.

But the places they're living were never designed for actual life.

A tent meant for one year gets used for twenty. Camps built for emergencies become permanent neighborhoods. Warehouses and shipping containers become "housing."

These spaces send a clear message: This is temporary. Don't get comfortable. You don't belong here.

But here's the reality: life keeps happening. Children grow up. People fall in love. Families grieve losses and celebrate milestones.

When the only goal is keeping people alive, we forget they're also living, and millions of people spend years, sometimes entire childhoods, in places that strip away dignity, hope, and the feeling of home.

What we do

Everyplace partners with local leaders in refugee communities and supports communities’ visions, plans and priorities to making the places they live right now feel more like home.

This might look like:

Gardens planted outside shelters
Murals painted on bare concrete walls
Gathering spaces where neighbors can rest and children can play
Reclaiming and repurposing spaces.

We don't replace humanitarian aid or policy reform. We intervene where those systems fall short, by restoring humanity inside long-term displacement.

Everyplace

Because every place deserves beauty, dignity, and belonging.
