We are all ardent believers of the phrase; "education is the best legacy". Hence, the existence of a globally recognized education standard. Sadly, while the world (you, your children and friends) at large ticks this box, a certain group of people do have have adequate access to the 'best legacy'. As such, they have and are still falling short of the generally accepted level and standard of education. I'm sure you'll agree with me that it is important to lend a hand and pull them up to the standard necessary.

We all started our lives as kids with dreams of becoming either a pilot, doctor or whatever profession that caught our interest. it was as simple as ABC because our teachers told us we just have to go to school, read our books and get an education, then we can become anything we wanted. If getting an education is all it took to achieve our dreams and grow in knowledge. Can you imagine how limited the opportunities is for those who lost their homes and are at risk of losing their dreams. According to statistics, only 3% of refugees are said to have gotten a higher education and the chance to fulfill their dreams in contrast to the 37% of the global population who have attained a higher education and have higher opportunities of becoming who they desire to become in life.

not bad at all

@Daliajacob I like how you build your story from the start. Providing the entire picture from the start is something worth mentioning when telling a story. I also like how you included other beneficiaries, such as parents, in your story. Giving the audience a complete picture of the story makes them feel as if they are in the story and, in some ways, they are in the same situation as the characters.

Access to education is universally every child's right. But have you ever wondered how refugee children think and feel about this?

This is superb!!!

thank you

this is not bad at all

How do you feel about your education level and being on a high profile job or at least a decent job that allows you to enjoy your life or at least feed and educate your family and relatives? For sure you are proud of your hard work and effort you made to fulfill your dreams and of all those who supported you. Do you sometimes imagine how life could be so hard if you did not make it?

Think of refugees who are displaced and taken away home by warsa and distasters to refugee camps. Living in a refugee camp is a tough life where food, money and freedom are all scarce. Accessing education is like visiting Dubai with a family for a holiday, to a security guard in Zimbabwe.

I'm certain that at least 90% of us have finished primary school and were lucky enough to finish high school and even attend university or college. But that is because we are not refugees. Refugees are lucky to attend primary school, while for us it's the norm. Most of us went to high school without thinking how lucky we are, it was what was expected. While less than a quarter of refugees are able to attend high school, and less than 10% make it to university or college. This is a crisis that needs to be addressed, as everyone deserve the right to access education, no matter their status in the world.

Imagine you have a dream, to be a CEO or to be an Architect or whatever you want to be. But, your dreams have no hope of being realised due to lack of proper education.
This is the case of millions of refugee children around the world. They do not have the luxury to have such dreams because they can't afford to go to schools. They can only try to survive each day, looking for the next meal.
Donate today to help these children dream!

In a world where basic education seem to be inherit for children of the educated. imagine the world of the uneducated, where the parents had no access to basic education, how would their children learn the basics of life. How would the children learn that the world is going digital when they do not even have access to the basic.

All of us in one way or another strive to make the world a better place, why don't we start by educating the underprivileged?
We can all put hands on deck and make sure that these people at least get basic education. But I m sure we can do better. Thank you.

Globally, most children achieve primary and secondary education, and close to 40% of the global populations achieves some form of higher education. We grow up thinking this is the norm, however in the refugee community this is far from the case. Only 2/3 of refugee children get a primary education, and only about a quarter of the refugee children have a possibility for completing secondary education. Higher education for refugees might as well not exist as ONLY a miniscule 3% manage to get any higher education. We need to change this, and make sure refugee children get the same opportunities that children all over the world take for granted.

It's a competitive world even for the educated ones, but atleast they have what they need to thrive. The competition is unbearable for the refugees, how can they thrive without education

Children have the right to education. Why should the refugees be an exception

We are happy, yes! We are, we got a sound education, then we need to help those who are in need of this same education. Then we can make a better future and make a better place to stay without violent crimes.

We all that are here have privileges to peaceful education. Imagine being chase out of your own country, and all hope on been educated is been chattered.
Also imagine being a refugee and the only way you can have access to education is through people’s donation.
That is exactly what this children are facing, their country has failed them, and this is another chance to fulfill their dream of being a graduate.

Good. It seems like we that would work

Imagine having to grow up in a community where access to Education is a struggle for most Children in those communities; not to include the high rate of insecurities in such communities, causing a large numbers of people fleeing their homes for a better life.
Across different communities today 90% of children are unable to attend both primary and secondary schools, as they are been faced with this various disadvantages like fleeing their homes and having limited access to proper quality education and their parents having little or no income to train them through schools .

Our organisation today is set with a mandate to provide quality education for 600 children across various affected communities through our #GrowAChild Program, Children who are unable to gain access to schools such as primary education and secondary education are now able too, this program was been implemented in other to break the learning barriers recorded from individuals who are affected by certain crisis or issues in their communities.

Over time our organisation have been able to provide this learning educational system to over 150 children across 3 communities and we aim at increasing the figures by 500 Children in 6 communities through your donations/Partnership, in order to impact more liveS through the Grow A Child program.

Yes that seems relevant

That's somehow relevant

We shall make audience feel the character and his/her circumstances.

Lets take a few moment to play back our lives event to how childhood was fun and all bed of roses. For most of us that grew up with a hearty family, had good food and shared remarkable moments together. I guess dad and mum probably dropped us up at school in the morning and come pick us up by noon. Imaging how all these standard upbringing impacted on the persons we are today. How basic you, you trivialize it i believe. Conversely, paint a vivid picture on the premise that you never had a proper home, and there was no dad and mum so you had to be in the mud every morning staring and watching as these cool kids pass by to school in nice cars with their mum and dad. Where do you feel you'd be in life at the moment if you were this poor kid. These poor kid I just described is doing way better than refugee kids. So now imaging the perceptions of life and the hopelessness that a refugee kid has by default, the distorted psych, the inferiority complex he or she has by default. What a difficult life to picture, how painful can it be to actually leave as a refugee kid..? As yourself.

Imagine a world where there are no social amenities like schools, classes, or even teachers to teach. Imagine leaving in deplorable conditions that access to even the basic of amenities is a challenge. Well, out of 10 refugees 4 complete primary education, while 2 complete secondary education while 1 complete higher education.
Our organization recognizes the hardships the refugees go through. Hence, we work closely with them through a program that links them up to educational institutions. For those that cannot join the learning institutions we put them into small flexible groups and assign tutors. Overall, we help refugees achieve their educational goals

we were the kids with no ambitions or goals, but we know that something lacking in our life. when we see the educated people we only think food is the most important than the education for us. but we realize the truth when one of our mate got educated by someone and achieved everything in their life. what we see that's what we believe. that is the truth.

Many people have been forced to flee their homes and millions of children are denied nationality and lack of access to basic rights such as education which limits refugees to learn about more about themselves and the world around them which makes them to struggle to rebuild their lives and communities. Together we can join hands and provide the resources they need to have a quality education.

War and human displacement affect education at all levels and especially for men. Let us advocate for and maintain peace to enhance equality in education.

We want to create an inclusive and diverse world. This is where we can start, create opportunities for refugee kids to complete their studies. It's just one step forward, which begins with a change in our hearts. Change that encompasses these students to make an empowered youth.

In this day’s quality and accessible education has become a key to opening many doors, you will agree with me that we are all seated in this room because of our educational strides. It is a fact that some of the younger generation will never have the the opportunity we all had educationally because they have found their self in refugee camps where they have little or no access to education, we can change this narrative giving them a chance to access good and quality education.

six in every ten refugee can access primary education unlike nine in every adult of my audience here. shockingly, only three in every one hundred refugee can gain access to higher education.

It's unfortunate that aside poor accommodation and nutrition the children have little access to education which supposedly is a bridge to a better tomorrow. These children are like any other children who deserves the best education so that their future and our future is secured by this human resource who need to be well educated today for our tomorrow. I call upon all the stakeholders let us join our efforts to secure our future in these children who will serve and lead at various places.

as a child we all learned that basic education was essential, however still 1 in 4 children cannot have access to it because of the lack of a basic education establishment. to date we have managed to bring 400 out-of-school children back to school and with your help we could still do more

Imagine waking up one day and heading to work but when you get there, you are not able to read or write or do any calculations. How long would you function in that job? What kind of job could you get if you were fired from that job and could not read to fill out an application form? How would you provide for yourself and any others who rely on you? While we take our ability to read, write, and do mathematics for granted, many displaced people are not getting the opportunity to go to school. If that had been you, would you be where you are now?

I would take out the word "supposedly" because that creates a bit of doubt, yet all studies show an education does offer a bridge to a better tomorrow. I like how you compare children to others who deserve a great future!

What we can all see on the chat today is the effect of crises and immigration in our education system. How can we make it better? How can we make our male refugees have access education? We can start this journey be determining the reasons behind the low education rate amongst our male refugees. According to the result conducted by a team of with 100 male refugees, we discovered that the major cause of decline in male refugee education is lack of free educational opportunities. How do we improve our educational policies to accommodate our male refugees?

Have you ever stopped to ask what became of your classmate who stopped schooling? He/she dropped out but we continued schooling. Education is a gift that we have been blessed with and many of us seated here don't know how blessed we to have received an education. Just like our old classmates, there are millions of refugee children who can't go to school due to wars and conflict that has ravaged their cities, communities and country. The number of out of school children keep increasing as shown on this graph. Children in their formative years should be in school and it is time we take a stand and put an end to education crises. We can do this!

Como sociedad, todos tenemos un papel importante en garantizar que cada niño, independientemente de su origen o circunstancias, tenga acceso a una educación de calidad. Sin embargo, hay miles de niños refugiados en todo el mundo que enfrentan barreras significativas para acceder a la educación y realizar su potencial.

Este gráfico muestra claramente la brecha alarmante entre los refugiados y sus contrapartes no refugiados en términos de acceso a la educación. Es una llamada a la acción para que nos unamos y trabajemos juntos para resolver este problema.

Podemos empezar por apoyar a organizaciones y iniciativas que brindan educación a los refugiados. También podemos educarnos y sensibilizarnos sobre esta crisis y compartir información con nuestra red de amigos y familiares. Además, podemos presionar a nuestras autoridades políticas para que adopten políticas y programas que aborden esta desigualdad y brinden un futuro más brillante a los niños refugiados.

Creo que es una perspectiva muy conmovedora y efectiva sobre la crisis de la educación de los refugiados. Al hacer una conexión personal con nuestro propio pasado y recordar a un compañero de clase que no tuvo las mismas oportunidades, nos hace ver la importancia de abordar esta crisis y tomar acción. Además, el hecho de enfatizar cómo somos afortunados de haber recibido una educación también ayuda a motivar a la audiencia a involucrarse y hacer su parte.

En general, creo que esta perspectiva logra convertir efectivamente la historia del "yo" en una historia del "nosotros" y es una llamada a la acción efectiva para abordar la crisis de la educación de los refugiados.

Childhood while studying was filled with laughter and warmth. However, the children of refugee victims can only lament it all.

schooling is token by many as something usual, something that must occurs naturally when a child has the age to speak. And we often don't realize that it is a grace for those who have that possibility. Effectively, there are people as refugees, who crisis, war or catastrophic disasters, obliged them to move from their birth country to others, loosing all their assets (money, furniture, property). So people as them, do not have even what to eat and then, are obliged sometimes to beg for their basic needs.

Our call to actions is for these kind of people, in terms to give them the opportunity to have the minimum education, and thus the necessary skills to be able to integrate into society without complexes. we must do sommething NOW!

Greater education increase the quality of people, high quality of people increase the quality of the nation, a quality of nation can achieve a greater world.

Every child is entitled to an education. No matter their background, education does not discriminate. Your ability to read this very story shows that you have had the opportunity to be educated. Refugee children have not had the same experience. Let's change the world for the better and ensure we all have the same access to education.

This is a great response because it shows how the mission directly impacts beneficiaries, and then indirectly provides benefit for everyone else which will encourage donations and participation.

when we are small, we want to grow up quickly. We go to school, grow and develop together. But we forget that not everyone can be like us. One of them is in the chart

In my opinion, the story by Daliajacob is very good and can turn the "I" into a "we" story. I am sure that through this story, the audience will understand and feel sympathy about the situation.

Imagine growing up not able to go to school anymore because the only school was destroyed by warfare or there isn’t a school in the refugee where you now live. Where only 6 in 10 children have attended a primary school, and only 2 in 10 progress to secondary school. The chance of you ever getting higher education is less than 3%. You may never be able to do anything other than menial work like farming or cooking.

Es importante tener presente que la educación debe ser para todo el mundo y no unos cuantos, por eso se evidencia la brecha entre las dos situaciones lo que no permite que leo niños salgan en iguales condiciones. Por eso eso importante, que la gente entienda la importancia de la igualdad en todos los sentidos para un mundo mejor.

I could start by highlighting the shared values and experiences that connect us all. For example, I could point out that we all want to live in a world where everyone has the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of their background or circumstances. I could also highlight the fact that many of us have faced our own obstacles and challenges in pursuit of education and personal growth.

From there, I could explain how the refugee education crisis is not just a problem for refugees themselves, but for all of us as members of a global community. By denying refugees access to education, we are not only failing to support some of the most vulnerable members of our society, but we are also missing out on the potential contributions and talents of an entire generation of young people.

By reframing the issue as a shared challenge that affects us all, rather than just a problem faced by refugees, we can help to build empathy and understanding among our audience. We can encourage them to see the refugee education crisis not as a distant and abstract problem, but as a concrete and urgent issue that demands our attention and action.

Imagine if we were not in a position to earn a better livelihood for our children, how pathetic would that be? Imagine we not being able to live with our families, work far from our people, how hard that would be?
Lack of secondary and higher education in the refugee camps would lead to such results making people into working class.

Some of us struggled in our education journeys yet here we are despite it all. We longed for financial support during such journey and every little contributions counted and now we are qualified for great opportunities and quality life .These statistics just weaken my heart and shakes my existence knowing that so many refugees are going through this. Our efforts can make such unanimous impact for generations .Educating one means educating a whole generation. WE CAN .

Education is light, freedom and power. imagine growing up in an environment and having a bridge to quality Education due to terrorism. my organization is planning on erecting an Adult educational structure to enable adult to quality education, we solicit for your support in this wise.

How do we see the journey of education? From primary to secondary with a higher education already being secured as a path to a brighter future.
But the helpless refugees see this as more than a privilege because in a number of times their education stops at Primary level. You can see the significant drop from 63% that get primary education and the 24% that only get to further finally only a dreadful handful of 3% take on higher education you see as a normal thing.

What does this say for us? To the refugees with no means of help? We have to take an action now!

Thanks for the answer

When we work together, we will make the world a better place, give a good education, health centre and good future to all the children

Open: In a small village, many children dreamed of education, but faced barriers.
Twist: A group of volunteers, led by Mia, started a crowdfunding campaign to support the children's schooling.
Close: With the funds raised, all the children, including Nisha, went to school, fulfilling their dreams!

Apparently, looking at the cited graph on Refugee primary education and Global Primary education it's evidently clear that both aren't in same situation as the latter has sufficient resources available for them compared to the former. Likewise, in the two other analysis given in same graph which speaks volume to reasons why passionate empathy be considered to providing better assistance if being presented to any or our category of audiences who's interest to proffering solutions to situations of this kind would possibly partner with the Organization's program or project implementation. Permissively seen as anyone can be in such a situation as well.

¿Te imaginas cómo seria tu vida si no hubieras podido asistir al colegio cuando eras niño/a? Seguramente no hubieras podido ir a la universidad, ni comprar el auto y la casa que tienes y muy posiblemente ni siquiera hubieras conocido a mucha gente que conoces, como tu esposo o esposa, tal vez.

Ahora imagina que no sólo no pudiste ir a la escuela, sino que naciste en un país en guerra, en donde la muerte y la violencia era lo único que conocías, y cada tanto ibas perdiendo a tus seres queridos a causa de la guerra, mamá, papá, hermanos/as, amigos y amigas.

Lo más real es que ni siquiera serías del 63% de la población que llegó a recibir solo educación primaria.

Imagine a life where we could all make choices, and there was no such thing as luck, fate, or chance. A life where we could choose where to be born and whom to be born to ... where our destinies concurred with our choices and efforts. Where phenomena like natural disasters did not exist, and the hardworking were assured of abundance. This utopian life is the dream of every refugee whose life paths have been truncated by no direct choice of theirs. For whose chances at further education are as slim as the goals they dare to dream.
Your donation to Refugee education will make a world of difference in mitigating the injustice that this world of chance and fate has offered refugees.

Primary and secondary education is the norms for almost everyone here. But have we ever thought about the refugee children who has to be on the lookout for the next attack at their camp? All they ever think of is waking up alive and surviving the whole day.

Most of us have a morning routine, a set of pre-defined tasks we accomplish before heading to work. But do we ever stop to think about how we got there in the first place?
While education is a given for most of us, the path to employment can be much more difficult, nearly impossible for many...
Compared to their counterparts, education rates among refugee men is up to 4 times lower and declines significantly from primary to higher education.

The last days of school before summer were the best, right?
Your only responsibility was to have fun for the next couple weeks. You could play, run, imagine and explore your hobbies. The future was bright.

Most refugees do not ever experience that feeling because six out of ten can't even access primary education.

It is hard to believe how big differences are between global level of education and the refugees. being a refugee is a big problem that people around the world face among the all other deprivations the limited access to education is the number one problems they faced.

Imagine if you had to present this graph on the refugee education crisis to your audience of educated adults. How can you turn this “I” story—that refugees have poor access to education—into a “we” story that your audience can relate to?

Post your “we” story to the discussion board. Then, check out your peer’s stories and vote or comment on the one you felt did the best job of turning the “I” into a “we” story!

All human beings are inherently equal and possess the fundamental right to access meaningful employment. However, it is disheartening to acknowledge that, regrettably, around 30% of refugee children, including individuals like Anderson, are denied the opportunity to pursue secondary education. This raises a crucial question: can Anderson, who is presently dedicated to his GCE A level examinations, truly stand on equal footing with others in the professional arena? Imagine for a moment that you had to flee your home, leaving behind everything you held dear. Consider a scenario where the financial means to pursue your education were beyond reach. What could your future have looked like under such circumstances?
Our organization empowers young refugees like Anderson by providing education and job skills. Please support our mission for equal opportunities by donating."

upon carful observation we notice refugee have less education in primary ,secondary and tertiary education

Aisha is a bubbly 10-year-old who has dreams of becoming a lawyer. She spent her days role-playing and practising what it would be like to be a lawyer. But for the past two years, she has been unable to role-play or practise because her family became refugees, and she had to stop school. And now she spends her days talking and rehearsing the daily situation and pain she and her family face.

Your 2 $ will keep Aisha in school daily, and $60 will keep her in school monthly and together, we will help Aisha return to the bubbly girl and become the best lawyer in her side of town.

In my opinion, the story by Daliajacob is very good and can turn the "I" into a "we" story. I am sure that through this story, the audience will understand and feel sympathy about the situation.

As a child, did you and your classmates have to prove your importance just to be able to go to school? Then why do refugee children have to

our luck was to be born on the lucky side of the world. The one where children can go to school and it is unthinkable that they do not go or have no access to education. This is what distinguishes us from those who were born in places of poverty, crisis, war and underdevelopment. The thought that arises is: 'that could have been me'. Based on this concept, we must move our conscience: we who can help have a moral duty to help. Helping refugees who flee their beloved land, their home, for a chance, struggle and risk their lives for a chance. THE FORTUNE WITH WHICH WE ARE BORN WITHOUT A FIGHT

We should not take our high levels of education for granted, as there are people who can only dream of achieving what we already possess.

Imagine waking up to a world where you no longer have your secondary or higher education knowledge and credentials, how long do you think you would maintain your current socioeconomic status?

Well, I'm sure you did not like the answer you just gave in your mind. This is because education, is very important in todays world both in equipping one with skills as well as credentials to be able to create a livelihood. Sadly, for refugees, this advantage that the rest of they world has, they do not posses. Refugees do not have have access to proper education and many of them do not proceed past the basic primary education. This leaves them with a grim alternative of economic and personal stagnation.

Now, imagine a world where we would help equip them with facilities, resources and human resources to be able to make a proper educational progression.

In this reality, we would be able to build a sustainable community that is self sufficient and able to grow and advance. The transformation we would witness would be tremendous from abundance of skilled employees to feed into the market to a resilient community of vibrant initiatives.

Education is the leveller. Humanitarian aid can only go so far. What's that saying about teaching a man to fish vs giving him fish to eat? I beleive we can all be fishermen (and women). The difference between us and them is that education that we have. That could have been anyone. It does not have to be the end for them. It can be the beginning.

If I were using this data to present to a group, I would probably invent two fictional characters who grew up in two different ways - one was a refugee and one had a 'global education' (not sure what that means). I would walk the audience through the 'global education' person first, and then the refugee using made up names and stories.

How would you feel if you received a letter from your child and not able to read it let alone reply to the letter?
How does it feel to end up as a security guard earning stipends in a local community just because you did get the opportunity to attend any school?

Our organization is working with displaced persons mostly children and youths who have no education whatsoever. These refugees need your support to be able go to school and at least read letters from loved ones and make a living enough to take care of their families.

This is exactly what the above graphs represents

Education makes the world more brighter. Travel restriction imposed to the refugees and the lack of educational infrastructure in refugee camp restricts deprived children from their right of education.

Many of us were given birth into a wealthy family where we have access to almost everything we need including quality education from primary to tertiary levels, good health care and other social amenities, but have you ever wondered or imagined if you were to be born into a family with poor background and worst of it became a refugee as a result of a disaster and you were being thrown out of your small hot or cohort that you are managing and as a result you lack access to the basic needs of life especially good quality primary, secondary and tertiary education? Remember no one chooses his/her own family by themselves, time and chance happen to them all.

If you were to be in their shoe how would you feel? Helpless, hopeless and unloved I guess? the same way these refugees are feeling not having access to quality basic education with a percentage of 63 against 93% of global education, 24% secondary education against 84% global education and 3% tertiary education against 37% global education. These refugees are really suffering and in pains.

the joy is that our organization has empowered over 800 children of such through project back to school and are working towards empowering more children of such through the same project by building more schools near the refugee camp. please make an investment by donating today to help the life of such children and for the organization to achieve their goals.

this is a good "we" story

It is a good story and it will turn l to we

Imagine those refugees are those people forced to flee from their home and seek for safety, they hardly feed talk much of going to school, as we know that is only those who have eaten good food that have ability physically and mentally to read and write and this refugees hardly feed because they all depend on people to bring food for their survivor, they don't have conducive place to sleep and conducive place for effective teaching and learning, "there are danger written on several signboards to avoid, we can see but we can't read to be safe" let us safe them, our organization have provided a conducive classes, we have enable 50 refugees to acquire knowledge, to be able to read and write, we are giving them a better future because they are the leaders of tomorrow. please donate today.

Thousands, if not millions, are displaced from their homes annually on account of one crisis or the other. Not only do they find themselves in foreign places, they are also more often than not, being deprived of a basic right - that of education. In comparison to global education statistics, refugee education is abysmal.
If you had the chance to contribute to the education of a refugee today, what would you give?

Succinctly put.

When we were children, we got good education and we became older, the access to quality and higher education became slimmer.

Consider the plight of children forced to flee their homes, their education disrupted and dreams deferred. In refugee camps, only 63% manage to access primary education, 24% make it to secondary, and a mere 3% have the opportunity for higher education. This isn't just their story; it's our shared concern.

Now, envision the impact if we come together to break these barriers. At our organization, we've taken the first steps, building bridges to education for over a thousand refugee children. We've witnessed their joy as they step into a classroom for the first time, learning to read and write. We're not just providing an education; we're offering a lifeline to a better future.

Join us in making education accessible to all. Your support will empower these children, giving them the tools to build a brighter tomorrow. Please donate today and be a part of our mission to transform lives through education.

Education is a basic necessity. We all know how vital education is to development. Globally, primary education is essential and pivotal to growth, however due to crises only 63% of children affected by disaster have access to it. These number reduces greatly as education progresses.
Secondary education sets the pace for career aspiration and a significant 84% obtain global education. For refugees affected by disaster only 24% are able to get this education and this reduces the number that derives benefit from education.
Standard of living is directly influenced by getting a tertiary education and only 3% of refugees get this education. This weakens their access to funds and causes them to earn less.

Education is a useful tool for development. You can tell because you are reading this.
Primary education sets the basis and you had it.

As seen in the graph, primary level education is easy in most part of the world but not for those Refugees, looking deep into it i and not just me everyone who have seen this graph will realize how difficult it is for a large part of the world to finish their higher level of education, a lot of people find it hard to complete school due to the responsibilities that come with being an adult not to talk for those who have lost everything due to war and crisis. I know for sure a lot of us are going to lot, we never thought that being an adult will come with so much responsibilities and now imagine those with no form of help as child throughout his adulthood.

The drop in education levels among refugees is worrying. When we compare it to global education, it's clear the problem is big. It's not just about them losing a basic right; it also affects their ability to be useful in society. Without education, they struggle with basic life skills, finding work, and affording everyday things. It also makes the community more likely to face criminal activities because people without legal jobs might turn to illegal ones. Think of the lack of education like a small stone thrown into water – it affects more than just one area. We all need to come together and help close this education gap for refugees. Every second counts.

So insightful

i enjoyed reading these stories

thank you for the insight

Ordinarily, going to school and getting an education should be fun for everyone. But the reverse is the case for children and people from war-torn regions. The statistics are heart-wrenching. It would interest you to know that 1 out 5 children educated in a refugee camp makes it to the tertiary level. Many do not have access to a secondary education, and when they do, it is under very poor conditions and substandard.

Think back to when you were 10 years old. Can you remember it? Do you remember going to school every day, sitting at your desk, eating lunch with friends, playing outside at recess?

Now imagine being 10 years old and not going to school; rather, each day is spent at home, which is actually a room in a shared house with other families all just barely getting by. No friends, no lunchtime, no running around at recess. And definitely no sitting at a desk listening to the teacher, learning how to read and write. You can't read and write at all, in fact. Now imagine being 16, still unable to read or write, still not having been to school. How about 20 years old? 25?

Going to school every is a PRIVILEGE we had as kids, and fulfilling our career dreams happened because we were privileged and got and our dreams fulfilled by our parents. But there are some children who are not very privileged to have their dream of being in a classroom fulfilled due to the war that has taken their chances away of having access to a classroom where they can fulfil their dreams.

Imagine how we all value education for ourselves and our families. Now, think about refugees who want the same but can't get it because of their situation. This isn't just their problem; it's our challenge too. When refugees miss out on education, we all lose potential teachers, doctors, and friends. We can help by making education accessible for everyone, no matter where they come from. This makes our world better for all of us. Let's work together to turn this challenge into an opportunity for growth and inclusion.

Most of us are fortunate enough to be well educated. We most probably didn't even think about not applying for tertiary studies. It was just not a thing...our parents supported us, the school was good..life was good.

But imagine you are torn out of your comfort zone due to war, how "easy" is it then to even finish high school? Let alone applying yourself for tertiary studies! Your school was bombed out, you live as a fugitive in a strange country as a adolescent, trying to learn a new language just to communicate, let alone finish school!

Fact is that everybody would be better off if everybody, including refugees, had equal opportunity to finish school and apply yourself to study. The community would benefit because the economy would benefit from employable members. Please engage by investing $10 to the fund to ensure a better economic future.
