There are many misconceptions surrounding refugees. This #WorldRefugeeDay, we invite you to challenge yours. Being a refugee is an experience, not an identity. Displaced people are small business owners, setting up restaurants, convenience stores, and other services for their new communities. They’re aspiring journalists, poets, artists, and embroiderers. They’re parents and caretakers. They’re human. But before they can start to set down roots, they need resources. Unfortunately, many traditional financial services often say “no” to lending to refugees. The Kiva community says “yes”. Do you believe that refugees deserve the resources they need to rebuild after leaving their lives behind? Help us transform the narrative. Every share of this post has the power to help us change outdated perceptions about refugees.

Many people believe refugees come to the U.S. for a better life, but that's not the case. Refugees are often forced to flee their homes due to threats to their lives and safety, usually from war or persecution. It is often a matter of life and death for these families. Even when they reach the U.S., finding housing can be tough, despite having the means to support themselves. At Compound Impact, we work with partner resettlement agencies to provide homes for refugee families. With a safe place to call home, these families can start anew. Children can feel safe again and start dreaming for the future. Visit compoundimpact.org to discover more about our work and how you and your church can get involved! #ChurchCommunity #RefugeeSupport #HouseToHomeProgram #ImpactHomes #TransformLives #ChurchSponsorship #Church #RefugeeAssistance #CommunityOutreach #SupportRefugees #MakingADifference #RefugeeIntegration #GodsLove #HelpRefugees #Faith #HelpingOthers

Refugees trying to rebuild their lives in the UK have faced terrible danger. The people we work with at the Refugee Council fled the horrors of war and persecution. Many of them have been forced to take dangerous journeys. We know that we cannot predict the wars, conflicts or oppressive regimes that will force people to embark on perilous journeys in search of safety, but we can ensure that we will always be there for people seeking safety in the UK, supporting them to rebuild their lives. A gift in your Will could enable us to be there for more men, women and children fleeing war and persecution. Your support could help transform the lives of refugees and give them hope for the future. This #FreeWillsMonth, we’ve partnered with Will writing experts, Farewill, to offer you a quick and easy way to write your Will online for FREE.

The end of 2023 saw more than 110 million displaced persons worldwide, an increase of more than 1.6 million from 2022. This means that 1 in 73 people are displaced in world, with 9 in 10 living in low- and middle-income countries. There has also been a 3% increase in refugees, taking the total to more than 36 million. (Information source – UNHCR) Durable solutions are few and far between, with only a few experiencing this reality. The global response to these extremely high levels of displacement needs to increase and strengthen. #refugeemonth #refugees #stats #factcheck #facts #crisisresponse #network #crisisresponsenetwork #humanitarianresponse #humanitarian

Are we supporting countries? Thoughts? Marathon of narrations? Political parties? We are helping our kind live peacefully. The ones who are the most vulnerable, the ones who depend on us to breath, the ones who can stand but can’t walk, we provide them the strength to walk as long as our strength allows us. We are their supporting sticks. Without the stick an old woman can walk but for how long? Our shoulders are always ready to support our kind individually as well as united. We are UNRWA, supporting refugees, the ones who walked miles to find houses and roofs and shelters outside their very own homes. #UNRWAWorks

According to the UN Refugee Agency, an estimated 117.3 million people worldwide, or 1.5% of the global population, are forcibly displaced. This includes 37.6 million refugees and 68.3 million internally displaced persons (IDPs). Displacement due to conflict, persecution, and climate change has doubled in the last decade, with 47 million displaced children worldwide. Climate-related hazards caused over 50% of displacements in 2022, and 60% of displaced people live in climate-vulnerable countries. Each of these numbers represents a person with a story, a dream, and a hope to one day be in a safer and better place.
The number of forcibly displaced people has doubled in the past ten years. But behind every number is a story. This #WorldRefugeeDay, take action to support the lives, dreams and contributions of refugees around the world. Visit https://lnkd.in/gs2wXq5c
