1040i

The vision for Place or Refuge Global began out of a partnership with 1040i. They allotted land to be used for the Solace Family Home and began Place of Refuge Global’s relationship with the people of Cote d’Ivoire.

1040i is devoted to giving life in Cote d’Ivoire by providing water, health, and education initiatives. They are involved in the country in a number of ways. Here are a few examples: 

Medical Mission Trips

Every year they take a team of doctors, nurses, and volunteers to Cote d’Ivoire to provide medical care and surgeries for individuals that would otherwise not receive care. This ongoing mission has helped created many meaningful relationships and partnerships in the country. 

Bilingual Academy

In 2014, 1040i opened a bilingual academy that is committed to raising ethical leaders for the Ivory Coast, the continent of Africa, and the world. The school currently educates elementary students but has future plans for a middle school and high school. This project is crucial because education helps break generational barriers and gives children the chance to have new opportunities in their life. 

Our Partnership

1040i continues to serve as a cultural expert Place of Refuge Global. They have served in Cote d’Ivoire for over 10 years and their President for over 50 years.
