Donate to UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency

Education is the key to empowerment for refugee children and youth, giving them the knowledge and skills to live productive, fulfilling, and independent lives. But right now just 3% of refugee youth have access to higher education.

The DAFI scholarship programme is designed to support each refugee student with a modest but decent standard of living which meets their basic needs, allowing them to focus on and complete their tertiary studies. However, due to the high number of applications, only a limited number of refugees are able to enter the DAFI programme each year, many passionate and committed young people are currently denied the opportunity to pursue their studies. This is why your support is so important.

By funding the DAFI scholarship programme, you will help to cover a wide range of costs including tuition fees, study materials, food, transportation, accommodation, and other day-to-day expenses.

Your generous gift today can make a deep and lasting impact on the lives of young refugees and the lives of the generations that follow them, giving them the opportunity to gain the skills and certification they need to build a better future.
