Refugee Emergency Fund (REF) is a refugee-led non-profit organisation dedicated to addressing the urgent needs and challenges faced by refugees, asylum seekers, and undocumented migrants in Malaysia. Since its inception in 2017, REF has been at the forefront of providing immediate support through crowdfunding initiatives specifically aimed at emergency cases. The organisation was established by Hasan Al-Akraa, a dedicated advocate for refugee rights, who recognized a significant gap in emergency response assistance during his transformative seven years of work within the refugee community.

Under his leadership, REF has developed a robust framework to mobilize resources and raise funds efficiently for those in dire situations. Currently, REF operates as a collective team, with each member contributing unique skills and insights to enhance the organisation's impact. The organization fiscally operates under the Al-Ikhlas Hope Society, which allows REF to be more financially and structurally efficient. With a commitment to advocacy and humanitarian aid, REF continues to respond to the urgent and evolving needs of refugees and migrants, providing them with a lifeline in critical moments.
