Help us build Refuge Schools!
War, violence and forced displacement tear millions of children away from their schools, their refuge, their safe space.
But education shouldn’t stop under any circumstances, even during emergencies or when children are displaced. In fact, these challenging situations are exactly when it’s crucial that children remain in school, the place that protects them and provides a safe haven.
We must remain committed to defending their right to education.
