The power of education to shape lives is huge. But we still see half of the world’s 15 million school-aged refugee children out of school. We must do more to enable them to enroll and access quality education! Read about UNHCR’s new education report 👇🏻 unhcr.org/news/press-rel…

The positive impact we want to have on the lives of refugees can only happen in partnership… with gov’t, civil society, NGOs, UN, local communities & refugees themselves. Thanks to our partners in 🇲🇷for embracing the vision that refugees are NOT a burden & can drive development!

Refugee youth leaders are at United Nations with a few key messages for 🌍 leaders: ✅ Include refugee youth ✅ Welcome refugees who have so much to contribute ✅ Support refugees & refugee led orgs. They understand their challenges best & know what is needed to solve them too.

Addressing #UNGA takes courage. It takes leadership. It takes power. Monicah Malith has that and so much more. She spoke from the heart, representing 120m displaced people at the Summit of the Future. To say she's inspiring is an understatement.

What a relief 😅 to see kids of Mbera refugee camp back to school this week. We had a close call with a dip in funds. Thanks to our donors & the Gov of Mauritania 🇲🇷, school doors opened & classes began today. Offer your support so these kids can make it to graduation day! 🙏

“Those least responsible for climate change bear the heaviest burden." UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Theo James recently visited Mauritania, where 262,000+ refugees face the dual impacts of conflict and the climate crisis. Ahead of #COP29, he's calling for urgent global action.

They’ve fled war and persecution—now they’re battling the climate crisis. In Mauritania, Goodwill Ambassador Theo James met refugees bearing the worst of a crisis they didn’t cause. Ahead of #COP29, hear their urgent calls for action.
