Campaigns

In a world increasingly fuelled by hate and division, we are choosing to focus on the things that unite us. By sharing the powerful stories of those with whom we walk, we invite you to look beyond the labels and reconnect with our shared humanity.

Increasing global challenges and instability are weakening efforts toward achieving peace. Like artisans, we can craft a peaceful future by taking concrete actions that draw us closer to each other. 

When an emergency breaks out, forcibly displaced people find themselves at the centre of international debates.  Sadly, media and public attention do not last long. ​Soon the stories of forcibly displaced people are neglected, their voices silenced.

When forced to leave their homes, women and girls are particularly vulnerable to unique risks, and often have very limited opportunities to prosper. With a safe space to heal, learn, and unlock their potential, they can rediscover hope and rebuild a sustainable life for themselves and their families.

In 2015, JRS launched the Global Education Initiative, an ambitious international campaign to expand our education programmes to serve 250,000 refugees worldwide by 2020. Dr. Mireille Twayigira, JRS Refugee Education Advocate, worked with us to promote awareness about the reality of young students growing up in refugee camps.
