Co-founder of REFUJ · President of Global Care & Empowerment
Odile BANGILI chairs Global Care & Empowerment, the association of which REFUJ is the mental health programme. Her line holds in one sentence, the one written into Article 3 of the articles of association: restore dignity, promote autonomy, bring hope to vulnerable populations.
That is the standard she brought into REFUJ: listening is not enough if no one, afterwards, opens a door. Supported orphanages, families helped, empowerment programmes through training — support does not stop at comfort.
As co-founder of REFUJ, she makes sure the association stays what it promises: a place where you are received, then guided, then followed.
