Place Of Refuge Global

What Place Of Refuge Global does

Place of Refuge Global (PRG) is a US-incorporated non-profit organization, founded in 2020, that operates humanitarian child welfare and family support programs in Tanda, Cote d'Ivoire. Its core program is the Solace Family Home, an orphanage that has housed 24 children (12 boys, 12 girls) since its 2018 opening, staffed by 9 local Ivorian employees under the direction of Pastor Paul Amiezus. In 2022, PRG launched what it describes as Cote d'Ivoire's first and only Foster Care System in the Tanda region, serving widows and orphans through paid tuition to private school, uniforms and supplies, monthly medical exams, and food support for foster families.

PRG's core products and services center on direct care delivery rather than technology platforms: the Solace Family Home, the Foster Care Program (currently in Phase 1), and the annual Mission Tanda trip program that brings supporters to Cote d'Ivoire. The organization has no proprietary technology, software, or SaaS offering; its only digital infrastructure consists of a Squarespace-hosted website and a Kindful-powered donation portal. There is no app, API, SDK, or integration footprint.

The business model is donation-driven with tiered monthly recurring giving programs: Orphan Support at $55/month, Outreach Partner at $250/month, and Kairos Partner at $500/month, alongside general PRG Support and one-time gifts. Mission Tanda trips are priced at $3,200 per person and represent a secondary revenue stream. The go-to-market motion is community-led and faith-based, relying on church partnerships (Church on the Move, The Way Church, Solace Church), business partners (LaFevers State Farm), and the founding ministry 1040i for donor acquisition, supplemented by annual Soiree fundraising events and in-person mission trips that drive deeper supporter engagement and recurring sponsorship conversion.
