This year has seen heart-breaking conflict across the globe devastate the lives of young people throughout parts of Syria, Egypt, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Sadly, these are the conflicts that we most commonly read of and hear about in our international media, but they are just a few of the many other ongoing conflicts, such as that in Eritrea, that continue to devastate the lives of the most vulnerable young people and displace millions across the globe. 

 

Refugee Support Network works with young people affected by displacement and crisis, enabling them to access, remain and progress in education at multiple stages in the migration journey. 

 

Please help us this Christmas and consider 'gifting' support to Refugee Support Network as a gift for a friend or family member, or simply make a one-off or initiate a regular donation to enable us to support these young people realise their potential for the future. 

 

As part of our appeal, we'd like to introduce you to four of the amazing young people we work with - Hussein, Rahel, Theodore and Abdullah. In the run up to Christmas, we'll be blogging about each of these young people. Click here to read the first of these stories, which focuses on Hussein, a young person from Syria who arrived in London without his family towards the start of the Syrian conflict. Be sure to tweet and link these stories on Twitter and Facebook...
