What we do

Access to medical and psychosocial care is anything but self-evident in conflict areas. We help in remote areas and provide medical care for the forgotten.

People on the run are supported with dignity and self-determination, through the provision of cash and voucher assistance

The world is in the middle of a hunger pandemic. With one person estimated to be dying of hunger every 4 seconds. People in conflict areas are particularly hard hit.

Without protection, refugees are extra vulnerable. How do you survive with limited access to emergency assistance, judicial support or how to survive in a minefield?

The war in Ukraine caused Europe’s largest refugee crisis since World War II. Millions of people have been displaced and seek refuge in neighboring countries such as Moldova and Poland.

The devastation caused by war is leaving millions of Ukrainians dependent on humanitarian aid and in need of protection. The situation is constantly changing due to the ongoing violence.

These are only some of the countries where we work. For a more complete overview click here.

Twelve years of war have thrown the country into a downward spiral of poverty, hunger, the spread of diseases such and a collapsed healthcare system. More than 15 million people are left dependent on aid and millions more have fled within Syria and beyond.

The consequences of the earthquake in February 2023 in Turkey and Syria has exacerbated the situation even more.

Wars and conflicts have wreaked havoc in Afghanistan for decades. After the Taliban took power, fighting has ceased in large parts of the country, but the security situation remains fragile.

The people suffer from multiple crises: drought, poverty, and food shortages: nearly 20 million people suffer from severe food shortages. Access to healthcare and education is increasingly under pressure due to the Taliban.

In the run-up to the elections to the House of Representatives, we made an analysis of the various election programs and called on the voter to take sides with the refugees.

With this special campaign, the Refugee Foundation wanted to send a clear message in March 2022 to the Dutch audience: Ukraine, Syria, Yemen. Wherever you come from; every refugee should be protected and helped.

In collaboration with VluchtelingenWerk Nederland and Defence for Children, the #500kinderen campaign was launched begin 2020. We called on the Dutch government to take in 500 underage refugees in the Netherlands, in response to a request from the Greek government.
