There are over 82.4 million forcibly displaced children, women and men in the world - the highest number ever recorded. That's  1 in every 95 people alive today.​

How can we make a difference together?

3 Reasons Why We Refuse to Lose Hope

IAFR Continuum of Response

*Adapted from IAFR USA

The response to the global realities facing millions of refugees requires long-term recovery work that serves to generate hope, and help refugees rebuild their lives.

Often refugees find themselves viewed only as people in need. Recovery work helps re-humanize people and restore hope. Recovery work seeks to strengthen community, faith, emotional well-being and personal capacity. It also includes getting behind the ideas and solutions of refugees themselves, recognizing the important contributions they offer in finding solutions to their displacement.

This is IAFR's strategic part in seeking the welfare and protection of forcibly displaced people in the world today.*
