"Living in the camp as a refugee is tough of course, but wanting to study as a refugee girl is even tougher, we have to fight every day to come to school. Among all the work we have to do in order to support our family, we need to find the time to study, it's not easy, but I cannot give up. I have a dream, I want to be a better person, I want to have a better future and I know education is the key to do so. I'm encouraging my friends to come to school and explain what they are missing, but sometime it's really hard for them to come to school and I understand their situation. I'm also sad to see some of my friend get married so young. It's heart-breaking to see all my friends out of school. I want to show them how education can change our life, so I study hard" . 14-year-old Sudanese refugee Suar told our colleague Eujin about her biggest challenge. Suar is one of 24,000 refugees studying in Maban County refugee camp. In South Sudan, UNHCR is working closely with refugee girls and their parents to encourage them to continue their studies.

“I talk them through it. I tell them, ‘I know what you feel because I’ve been through it. I lived it, and I survived’, and they feel better because I am a refugee just like them.” - Sarah Mardini . Sarah and her sister Yusra helped save 18 fellow refugees when their boat broke down off Greece. Today, Sarah volunteers as a lifeguard with Emergency Response Centre International (ERCI), a humanitarian organization that assists refugees in distress as they attempt to reach the island of Lesvos. “Sarah is a true hero,” says ERCI’s founder, Panos Moraitis. “After risking her own life to save 18 people on board the boat she was on while trying to reach Greece, not only did she come back to ground zero, but she is here to ensure that no more lives will get lost on this perilous journey” .

Muna and Sakina were forced by violence to flee their home in the city of Sa’ada in Yemen last year, with their mother and three siblings. They found refuge at the Dharwan settlement, after their father was killed - he is one of more than 7,000 lives taken by Yemen’s brutal war. The conflict is dealing a harsh blow to civilians, with an average of 75 people killed or injured daily.

Standing with his grandson outside his shelter in Azraq refugee camp Jordan, a dignified elderly man called Abu Kareem shows us his most precious possession. It's a painting of his beloved home in Homs, Syria - a house he built with his own hands . A family man, Kareem is an inventor who created amazing and useful objects from cast-off material he found in the desert camp. "Please tell my story", he asks us . Uprooted from his home, he dreams of one day returning. We dearly hope that one day Abu sees his home again.

Afghan teacher Aqeela Asifi, who won the 2015 Nansen Refugee Award for her dedicated work providing education to refugee girls, has expanded a small school in Kot Chandana, Pakistan . Thanks to Aqeela’s investment in three new classrooms, a washroom and a fully-equipped science laboratory, the first class of ninth grade girls now have a space to continue learning. This little girl is among the 1.34 million Afghan refugees living in Pakistan . Access to education is considered to be a vital tool in enabling successful repatriation, resettlement or local integration.

Little Yacoubou watches as his mother, forty-seven-year old Rahia, repairs the fence of their compound. Rahia and her four children, who were kidnapped by Boko Haram for a year and a half, still suffer nightmares from the trauma they experienced. Once released, mother and children fled to Cameroon and have sought safety in Minawao refugee camp. The Boko Harma insurgency has displaced 1.8 million people in Nigeria and over 200,000 others who have fled to Cameroon, Chad and Niger. In the far north region of Cameroon, Minawao camp hosts over 60,000 Nigerian refugees . Women and children pay the highest price in this humanitarian crisis as they are targeted by Boko Haram in kidnappings and for recruitment into the militia.

“UNHCR and its aid partners need to continue to develop income-generation activities, especially for women, in order for them to be self-sufficient. This is what they asked of us and it should not be beyond the international community’s means to deliver” . During his visit to the Lake Chad region in West Africa last week, our High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi met with some of the more than million people who have been displaced from their homes due to the Boko Haram insurgency. Here he met with a Nigerian baby in a nutrition center in Minawao camp in Cameroon . Grandi visited the region to highlight the displacement crisis, he also launched a $241 million funding appeal to help the men, women and children who have found refuge in various camps in the region - a region that is struggling to support a humanitarian crisis. He was impressed by the resilience of a people who have suffered greatly, yet remain hopeful . Only 43% of the funds required by aid agencies has been received. More support is needed to adequately assist these families that have been shattered by violence so that they can rebuild their lives .
