NINE MILLION

There are currently 20.8 million refugees living in the world right now with little or no food, scant shelter, and unclean water. Of these 20.8 million refugees, 9 million are children with no Right To Play and living in the same conditions horrid conditions.

To all those who do not know, a refugee is anyone who flees a his/her country of origin in the fear of being persecuted for his/her religion, nationality, or affiliation with an organization. Yet when we think of refugees we commonly associate them with Africans. Yet that misconception alone has cost the lives of millions of men, women, and innocent children. Refugees come in many different colors, nationalities, and religious vbackgrounds. However their trials and need of help is the same all throughout. Countless children ranging anywehre from 2 months to 17 years of age are dying in conditions that can be alleivated only through your help and the help of others.
