After nearly 10 years as a refugee in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Yolande is rebuilding her life back home in Burundi.

With support to return and reintegrate, Yolande has joined the KODIGA Cooperative, a promising start as she works toward a more secure and independent future.

For returning refugees, going home is only the beginning. Continued support is essential to help families rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

Protection is about more than finding safety. It is also about having the opportunity to work and provide for your family.

For 75 years, the Refugee Convention has unlocked that possibility for refugees around the world.

Same historic buildings. Same intense classes. A very different journey to get there.

Odile's education began in a refugee camp in Rwanda. Steadfast in her studies, she won a DAFI scholarship to continue her education in Kigali, then went on to Oxford, where she is studying international relations with the goal of bringing her education back home.

Education is not only protection for refugees. It is also a path to self-reliance.

Before the Oscars, before Hollywood, Ke Huy Quan was a refugee.

In his memoir Never Say Die, he reflects on fleeing Viet Nam as a child, life in a refugee camp and the meaning the word “refugee” would come to hold for him.

A powerful story and a testament to what refugees can achieve when given the chance to thrive.

We’ll never stop working to improve the lives of people forced to flee.
