Women’s rights activists in Uganda have joined together to become powerful forces for change in their communities.

Together Sesame Street's Grover and ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ ambassador Mandy Patinkin are on a mission to help refugee children. Learn more about the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡'s partnership with Sesame Workshop to address the educational needs of young Syrian refugees in the Middle East.

We went around the UK giving away ice cream and gathering support for refugees.

The Rohingya are a stateless ethnic minority caught in the violence gripping Myanmar's Rakhine State. In less than a month, half a million people have fled to Bangladesh, making this the world's fastest-growing refugee crisis. And those who remain in camps in Rakhine live in dire conditions. Please watch, learn more and share this video. Additional video and photos courtesy of Human Rights Watch and Steve Gumaer.

The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ is sending out a call for compassion this Christmas. Refugees uprooted by conflict and disaster need us more than ever before. Like the half a million Syrian children who live in Lebanon. Many have no choice but to work on the streets or in the fields to help their families survive. Watch as they share their secret superpowers. Make your choice.

An ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ aid worker (his identity obscured for security reasons) takes us inside Areesha, northeast Syria. Here 43,000 people who fled ISIS are crowded into a camp built for half that number. Some 25,000 people in Areesha are living on one piece of bread a day. Others have nothing to eat. The ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ is responding with emergency meals, which we have distributed to 5,000 families.

Narrated by Mandy Patinkin: 60% of refugees worldwide live in cities and communities rather than in camps. Providing refugees cash instead of in-kind goods like blankets or food, allows aid agencies like the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ to reach refugees quickly and at a lower cost. Cash relief is also good for the economy. It means refugees can buy what they need from local shops, growing their communities.
