Primary Education Transforms Lives
Of the refugees under UNHCR’s mandate, 14.8 million are school-aged children. Yet nearly half are out of school, facing barriers such as displacement, poverty, and systemic exclusion.
Primary education is more than literacy and numeracy. It transforms lives by equipping children with essential knowledge and life skills, while creating a safe and nurturing environment that shields them from harm. It fosters emotional healing and resilience by providing routine, safety, and a sense of purpose — especially vital for children affected by conflict or trauma.
As a result, it protects children from:
- Child labour and exploitation
- Early marriage and pregnancy
- Recruitment into armed groups
- Petty crime and street violence
Support UNHCR’s Primary Impact Programme and help provide refugee children with accessible, inclusive, and holistic primary education — offering them not only learning, but also safety, stability, and hope for a brighter future.
Your gift today could ensure that a child who has lost everything does not lose their future.

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.
