Today, 27 million people have been forced to flee their homes due to conflict and persecution. At a time when half of the world's refugees are children, our work to help child refugees is more important than ever.
Refugee children are among the most vulnerable in the world. Every day, they risk loss of some kind, including the loss of the future that every child deserves. Child refugees live in constant fear, uncertainly and instability. Where will their next meal come from? Where will they sleep? How will they survive? Child refugees desperately need protection from a wide range of violence, including abuse, exploitation and neglect. Child marriage remains a growing concern among refugee children.
While conflicts around the world continue to displace children of all ages, Save the Children is working around the clock to ensure refugee children and their families are supported in their basic human needs. We work tirelessly to provide refugees and those displaced by conflict with lifesaving aid. Our programs aim to improve access to education and quality health care, and protect children from exploitation.
The dangers inherent to child refugees and asylum seekers puts them at risk every day. That's why Save the Children works to support refugee girls and boys, helping them survive, and thrive. Whether in camps, on the move or in host communities, we do whatever it takes to protect children and their families--transforming the future we all share. Your support can make a world of difference to the life of a child who is on the move.
