Peace Artisans

In a world often fragmented by conflicts and divisions, people forced to flee their homes are among those paying the highest price. It is time to remember our common humanity above all differences and take concrete actions that draw us closer to each other.

JRS, invites everyone to become Peace Artisans and take concrete actions to create a peaceful future for all.

Forgotten Displacement

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.

There are many displacement situations that are overlooked and forgotten. These crisis affect people that have lives and stories like everyone else.

We must not forget them.

Make Room For Her

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.

Join us in calling for more opportunities for women and girls to heal, develop their talents, and improve their livelihood.

Supporting Education For Refugees

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.
