Overview
There are over 10 million refugees who have lost everything. 1 refugee without hope is too many.
More than 37 million people have been forced to flee war zones. 1 family forced to flee is too many.
Conflict and violence have separated millions of refugees from their loved ones. 1 family torn apart by war is too many.
Can you imagine how it would feel to have to flee your home to find safety in another country? In difficult economic times, it doesn’t cost a single cent to show interest in others, learn, and share your new knowledge and interest.
The “do 1 thing” campaign wants you to show your support for refugees, asylum seekers and those in need of international protection here in Ireland and around the world.
Is there just 1 thing you could do to show your support for a refugee or asylum seeker?
