Imagine losing all connection with the people you love, with your family. No ability to use text, social media, email – it probably feels inconceivable to most people in the Western world. Yet that’s often the experience of refugees displaced from their homes, and it was the experience for a young Afghan refugee, Mansour, who got separated from his family in 2000. Mansour made his way over time to Denmark, where he met David and Christopher Mikkelsen in 2005. The Mikkelsen brothers offered to help Mansour find his family, eventually helping him reunite with a younger brother in Moscow. The experience was fraught with difficulties – trying to coordinate with all the different authorities and organizations that theoretically should have been able to help – and it led the Mikkelsens to create Refunite. Refunite is a non-profit that relies on refugees’ now-ubiquitous access to mobile technology to register with.
