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…

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.
