GLOBAL R EF U G EE C R I SI S
80 million people have been forced to flee their homes The world is facing an unprecedented global refugee crisis. According to the UNHCR*, over 80 million people around the world have been forced from home as a result of conflict or persecution. Unfortunately, over 80% of refugee crises last 10 years or more. In other words, refugee status is rarely short-term. While aid and emergency support are often needed at first, in the long-term, these solutions are unsustainable, creating dependency and trapping families in a perpetual cycle of poverty.
