An unprecedented 65.6 million people have been forced to flee their homes in search of refuge because of conflict and persecution. Tragically, more than half of the world’s refugees are children, and only 61 percent are in primary school – far lower than the global average of 91 percent. The United Nations Association of the USA, in tandem with the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) and its fundraising arm USA for UNHCR, is working to prevent a lost generation by giving refugee children the education they deserve to build a better future.
