REF FM Foundation, established in 20018 and based in the Netherlands, helps to establish community-based radio stations run by and for refugees and host communities in refugee camps.  The foundation helps refugees and host communities to make these stations self-sustainable within one year. Refugees are more and more required to become self-reliant. Community-based radio for refugees and host communities can inspire and empower refugees to become more (economical) active and more adaptive to their circumstances. The radio station in Kalobeyei that REF FM Foundation initiated in 2020, is the first REF FM radio station.
