53,000 refugees.
650 companies.
One huge positive ripple effect for local economies in Mexico.
This is how one #RefugeeForum pledge helped refugees earn a living and give back to the communities that welcomed them.

From cabbage to peas & carrots, refugees and their Rwandan neighbors in Mushishito marshland @Nyamagabe are growing crops to feed their families and earn income to meet basic needs.
Thanks to 🇩🇰 Denmark for supporting self-reliance for refugees & their hosts.

Every child deserves a chance to learn.
But in many places, refugee children face even greater barriers to education than their peers.
The gap is widening. It’s time to close it.
ℹ️ unhcr.org/media/unhcr-educat…
ALT Nearly half of the world's 12.4 million refugee children do not have access to quality education.
ALT Enrollment of refugees in education 2024: Primary 67%. Secondary 37%. Tertiary 9%.

Becoming a refugee is not a choice. Anyone can become a refugee.
Refugees seek self-reliance and opportunities to contribute productively to the economies of their host communities.
On #WorldRefugeeDay and always, let's support refugees like Said in building their businesses.

Insect farming: weird, wild and… a game-changer?
It turns bugs into protein to feed animals, fertilize crops & support small farms, helping displaced people grow food, earn income & rebuild.
Donate to UNHCR to help families facing hunger thrive.

This #IWD2025, we celebrate women like Nosizi—once stateless, now university graduate & UNHCR intern.
When stateless women & girls have opportunities, they go on to uplift their communities.
Let’s #EndStatelessness, break barriers & ensure they have the support needed to lead.

Climate is already further complicating the displacement narrative in many parts of Africa, but as our LIFT-NK program shows, the best solutions are often found closest to the areas in crisis. @UNHCRLivelihood @IKEAFoundation @DanChurchAid @SRCTechKe alleviate-poverty.org/blog/f…
