Education in Africa
Due to persisting and new emergencies, around 30 million internally displaced persons, refugees and asylum-seekers live in Africa, accounting for almost one-third of the world’s refugee population. Many African countries have struggled to provide quality education for all, and refugee children and youths face extra hardship in accessing education.
Refugee life is, unfortunately, not temporary for most cases. For children and youths, it takes up the years they should be in school preparing for their futures. These young people are willing to give up so much in order to receive an education, would you help make their dreams come true?
HKD 3,100 can cover the monthly salary of 6 primary school teachers in Rwanda.
HKD 7,800 can cover the cost of fully equipping a classroom with desks, chairs, boards as well as other necessary furniture and equipment in Rwanda.
I'd like to make a one-time donation of the below amount:
Your money helps UNHCR provide protection, shelter and other forms of assistance, and advocacy on behalf of displaced and stateless people every year. We ensure that as many funds as possible are redirected to refugees, stateless persons and asylum-seekers. 85 per cent of all funds raised go directly to field operations. 7 per cent is allocated for global programmes, helping refugees, internally displaced people, asylum seekers and stateless people under the UNHCR mandate around the world, and 8 per cent is for headquarters administration. UNHCR staff work as closely as possible with and for people forced to flee, with 90 per cent of our workforce based in field locations. For further details on UNHCR's budget, read our Global Report.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is a global organisation dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for people forced to flee their homes because of conflict and persecution.
We lead international action to protect refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people.
We deliver life-saving assistance, help safeguard fundamental human rights, and develop solutions that ensure people have a safe place called home where they can build a better future. We also work to ensure that stateless people are granted a nationality.
We work in over 130 countries, using our expertise to protect and care for millions.
Upon the form submission, you will be directed to a secure server hosted by WorldPay, which processes online donations on our behalf.
