For millions of refugees around the world, home is a place they ran from as bombs fell. A place buried under rubble and the remains of their friends and neighbours. A place too dangerous to ever set foot in again.

Most refugees are in a land not their own, trying to live a normal life in a deeply abnormal situation. For most of them, there is no way home.

They say home is where the heart is. A place where you can be safe. A place that you can always return to. As we observe World Refugee Day on 20 June, let’s remember the struggles of children fleeing conflict, and help them build a new home, wherever they may be.

There are places in the world that are far too dangerous or unstable for us to set up Child Sponsorship Programmes. Known as fragile contexts, these are areas where governments cannot (or will not) act to protect the rights of their people. For children and families living in these places, basic necessities like food, clean water, education, security and protection from abuse and exploitation seem hopelessly out of reach.

DONATE in support of World Vision’s work in fragile contexts. Every ringgit given is stretched to help children and families survive, recover and build for a brighter future. 

Donors who sign up for a recurring monthly donation of RM50 will receive a special edition handwoven Wristband of Hope (while stocks last). In refugee camps around the world, child refugees are often given a token or wristband upon registration. When a child wears a wristband, it means they are safe – their rights as refugees are now recognised and protected. It is a symbol of hope, connecting you to the children whose future is now brighter with your support.
