Nyarugusu Refugee Camp in Northwestern Tanzania was established in 1996, when civil war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) forced people to flee their homes, often with little more than the clothes on their backs, and cross Lake Tanganyika into Tanzania. Today, more than 65,000 Congolese and Burundian refugees live in Nyarugusu, over half of whom are children.

In this video, refugees plead to world leaders to end the war and violence that has consumed and destroyed their lives. One woman from Afghanistan fled her home to save her young children, fearing they would fall into the hands of extremists.

She visited our programmes which assist refugees as they adjust to their new lives in Germany, from the classroom to the workplace to the broader community.

The stakes are high and we need your help to ensure vulnerable refugees can move forward with their lives.

We've put together a bundle of resources to help schools create a welcoming environment for new students who are refugees and asylum seekers.
