Equipping refugee youth with skills gives them the power to rebuild their lives. In Mahama Refugee Camp, young refugees are learning construction to secure their future. Many more need hands-on skills to stand on their own. Let’s invest in their potential.

Refugees are not a burden — they are changemakers. From classrooms to climate action, their voices are shaping a better world. This #WorldRefugeeDay, we stand for protection, inclusion & shared progress. #WRD2025 #WithRefugees
