Story
We know that education changes the lives of young refugees.
In Syria and Iraq, schools have been destroyed, occupied by armed groups and used to shelter displaced people. Students have been targets of violence. As children have fled the conflict, they have lost months and years of education in camps and on their dangerous journeys to safety.
When they reach the UK, children tell us that it’s education that will help them rebuild their broken lives. Maryam, 15, from Syria, told us “with education, I start to think maybe I will have a future, maybe I will be me again.”
The UK has committed to resettling 20,000 refugees from camps around Syria – prioritising vulnerable children. Help us ensure these children get the education support they desperately need.
Please help us raise £50,000 to meet the growing demand for our educational mentoring and support programmes for young refugees.
All the money you donate will go directly to helping young refugees.
