  • Providing a networking group that encourages and enables them to participate more effectively with the wider community of host countries
  • Implementing community projects in relation to improving refugees’ education, economic self-reliance and human rights
  • Promoting the development opportunities that contribute to advancing Rwandan Refugees’ human, cultural, social and economic development.

Education for Refugees

The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states that everyone has the right to education. The United Nations refugee agency estimates that fewer than 1 percent of refugees globally are enrolled in higher education programs.

According to UNHCR and UNICEF, of the 16.1 million refugees worldwide under the mandate of UNHCR, in 2015, only 50% of refugee children were in primary school and just 22% of refugee adolescents were in secondary school. Primary school-aged refugees numbered 3.5 million in 2015, and secondary school-aged refugees numbered 2.5 million. Of the 2.5 million secondary school aged adolescent refugees,2 million were not enrolled in secondary school.
