27%.

That’s how many girls living as refugees are in secondary school.

Amala programmes change this, offering young women like Hamdi flexible and supportive learning.

Can you join us this week to reach even more young people?

The need is still urgent: only 27% of refugee girls are in secondary school. With your support, we can keep building brighter futures together.
