In 2025 we served 1,086,269 people. Women, children, men and families were reached through our projects throughout the year.

2025 confronted refugees and forcibly displaced people around the world with a new reality: sweeping funding cuts to aid by the United States Administration, and a further decline in the budgets of other donor countries. At JRS, we witnessed the devastating, cascading effects on some of the world’s most vulnerable communities: children in Chad at risk of not being able to sit their school exams; displaced Yazidi women in Iraq deprived of mental health support; and families in Uganda uprooted by war struggling to meet their most basic needs.

Beyond simple budgetary constraints, these examples reveal an intentional elimination of care and solidarity, a message that has been heard loud and clear by refugees.

As we navigate this new reality, one thing has become clearer than ever: JRS is not just a service provider. We are an organisation that walks with refugees. In 2025, the commitment of our JRS community has sustained our work in the face of unprecedented challenges. Only by continuing to walk together can we protect the life and dignity of those who have been forced to flee.
