Mothers Groups
Raising children is a monumental task for any parent. But when your child has suffered the trauma and loss of being displaced, the challenges grow exponentially. World Relief partners with grass roots community organizations in the Middle East to teach mothers about health, nutrition and hygiene, providing them with the resources needed to ensure the long-term health of their children.

Training
Because most refugees in the Middle East are not allowed to immediately begin working in their new countries, unemployment in refugee communities is rampant. World Relief works through local churches and community organizations in the Middle East to provide refugees with training and education programs that lead to increased social stability for refugees in their new country, eventually allowing the displaced to not only earn meaningful income, but contribute to the overall economic development of their new countries.

Among so many other needs, one of the greatest needs for refugee children is the need for fun and play. It’s essential to find places and times for children to simply be children. In the Middle East, World Relief and its partners provide refugee children with opportunities to play by providing sports, games and other activities.

Advocacy & Storytelling
Refugees regularly ask World Relief and its partners to tell their stories. They want those around the world to know why they were forced from their homes, and also how they are currently faring—in times of both struggle and triumph. World Relief is committed to using its reach worldwide to amplify the voices of refugees, advocate on their behalf, and call upon church, community and government leaders to do all they can to serve refugees and their families.
