The Issue

Imagine being a child who had to flee your home in the middle of the night—leaving behind everything you knew and loved.

For millions of refugee children, this is their reality. They arrive in new lands, seeking safety and a better life, but face overwhelming barriers to education and healthcare. 

 

📚 Education: A Lifeline Denied

  1. 7.2 million refugee children are out of school worldwide. That's nearly half of all school-aged refugee children. 
  2. Only 68% of refugee children are enrolled in primary school, compared to 91% globally.
  3. Secondary school enrollment drops to just 37% for refugee children.
  4. In low-income countries, less than 50% of refugee children attend primary school.


💉 Healthcare: A Right, Not a Privilege

  1. 1 in 10 refugee children suffer from acute malnutrition.
  2. Children under five account for nearly a third of all reported deaths among refugees, many of which could have been prevented through low-cost interventions.
  3. Refugee children are at high risk of being "zero-dose" (no immunization) or under-immunized due to limited access to health services.

 

🌟 The Power of Support

With the right resources, these children can transform their futures. Education and healthcare are not just services—they are the keys to unlocking potential, fostering resilience, and building a brighter tomorrow.
