Start a Fundraiser

There are many ways students can help support refugees and the work of the UN Refugee Agency. Many students around the country have taken the initiative to start a fund raiser at their school or in their community to bring awareness to the refugee cause and help raise money to help the UN Refugee Agency provide necessities such as shelter, education, water, and medical care.

If your students want to start a fundraiser, they can click here to learn more about our Community Fundraising Handbook (1mb .pdf) to help them think of ideas and plan their event.

We are happy to support their efforts with posters, videos and other materials.

Darfur Dream Team Sister School

The Sister Schools project was started by Houston Rockets' star Tracy McGrady after he returned from a trip to the Dafur refugee camps in Chad where he learned about the refugees' deep thirst for education.

The project connects American middle schools, high schools, and colleges and universities with schools in the camps. Using the power of the internet, students in the United States can connect directly with Darfur refugee students. They can also help raise money to build new schools. 
Learn how your classroom can become a Sister School.

Blue Key Campaign:

We’re facing an unprecedented global crisis. Right now, more than 43 million refugees are displaced by war, violence or persecution. That’s nearly the combined populations of New York and Texas. Forced from their homes, refugees are torn away from their families, communities and livelihoods.

The Blue Key Campaign opens doors for refugees working hard to rebuild their lives. With the Blue Key, you’ll join refugees, celebrities and world leaders in speaking out about the needs of displaced people around the world.
