To create stability when everything familiar has been left behind? For millions of people around the world, these are not abstract questions, but daily realities.<\/p>\n<p>Today, more than 120 million people worldwide have been forced from their homes\u2014leaving behind familiar neighborhoods, work and careers, school, and the places that once anchored their lives. <\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s 120 million people adapting to unfamiliar communities, disrupted livelihoods, overcrowded shelters, uncertain legal status, and the daily challenge of creating stability in the midst of upheaval.<\/p>\n<p>And in 2026, this uncertainty has many layers.<\/p>\n<p>War collides with disaster. Disease outbreaks compound displacement. Economic instability deepens humanitarian need. At the same time, significant reductions in international aid have left many local organizations struggling to meet growing demands with shrinking resources.<\/p>\n<p>Yet even at this moment, many local leaders continue to show up. They welcome displaced families, help children return to school, create spaces of belonging, and support communities as they rebuild.<\/p>\n<p>This World Refugee Day, we invite you to learn about a few of the community-led organizations responding to displacement around the world. <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"627\" src=\"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp_Image_20230914_at_12.25.55_PM_Large.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-231664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp_Image_20230914_at_12.25.55_PM_Large.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp_Image_20230914_at_12.25.55_PM_Large-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/WhatsApp_Image_20230914_at_12.25.55_PM_Large-768x470.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 567px) 100vw, (min-width: 568px) 80vw, (min-width: 1024px) 33vw\" \/><center><small><em>Photo: A moment of connection and care for children displaced by conflict with Smile Givers International.<\/em><\/small><\/center><\/p>\n<h2>Lebanon, Gaza &#038; Syria<\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalgiving.org\/projects\/middle-east-crisis-relief-fund\/?rf=learn_wrd_2026\">Across the Middle East<\/a>, communities continue to face the consequences of war, displacement, economic instability, and disaster. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In Gaza today, needs are not only immense, they are constantly shifting.
