Dear Jack, Nearly 25 million people — almost seven in ten refugees worldwide — have been living far from home for five years or more. Five years is a long time to live in limbo. It’s long enough for a young child to grow up without knowing what a permanent home feels like. Finding safety is a vital first step. But it should not be the last. |
Refugees bring skills, knowledge and resilience, and want to contribute meaningfully to the economies and communities that welcome them. Yet too often, barriers prevent them from doing so. UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, works to protect refugees and advocate for their access to education, job opportunities and the chance for their families to stand on their own again. Sign now to stand with refugees ready to rebuild their lives. |
