Imagine you have been forced to leave your home because of war or violence. You are desperate to survive. You may have walked for days or weeks holding your children or siblings and the few possessions you could carry. Family members or friends may have been killed or abducted. Having fled for your life, you need shelter, water, and food, and you may need medical care.

You are not alone - 42 million people around the world have been forced to flee their homes and seek refuge.
