Education is refuge.

More than 40 million children worldwide are refugees, forcibly displaced and migrants.

In emergencies, education is the first right to be lost and the last to be restored.

Wars, violence, natural disasters and extreme poverty have driven more than 100 million people from their homes. These situations are particularly devastating for children, ripping them away from their community, their school and their opportunities for the future.

Children who have to face a whole new life, fraught with fear and uncertainty; children who need to have their right to education restored in places of refuge.

Together with our partner organisations, we at Entreculturas and Alboan are working to ensure access to education for these children: school helps to heal trauma, offers a sense of normalcy and provides a safe space of refuge and inclusion.
