For the young people we work with, education is a door to hope. Right now, that door is closing. This year’s UNHCR education report shows that less than one third of refugee youth reach secondary school. We see the extraordinary potential of our graduates when they have access to quality education: they start organisations, lead others, and teach the next generation. When young refugees lead, communities thrive.
That is why this year, for the fourth time, Amala will be taking part in the Big Give Christmas Challenge. We will be raising money to reach more young people living as refugees with learning that is built for their realities.
Thanks to the generous support of two anonymous donors, every gift made during the seven days of the Big Give campaign (via our Big Give project page only) will be matched!
This year, we have an even more ambitious target than in previous years. We are aiming to raise £15,000, which will unlock a further £15,000 in match funding if we reach our goal, enough to engage 300 young refugees in Kenya and Jordan. Young people who will go on to start organisations, train their communities, campaign for a fairer world, and teach the next generation of changemakers.
