Your support makes all the difference.Child refugees from some of the world’s worst conflict areas have drawn pictures to represent their hopes and fears to mark World Refugee Day.
Save the Children have released a series of pictures in which children have drawn their hopes for the future as well as their fears.
Some of the children’s drawings represent the fears that they had on entering the camps, others represent the horrors that they witnessed before fleeing their home countries but each child has also drawn what gives them hope whether it be an education, a future career or a hobby.
The pictures come from children living in three of the largest refugee settlements in the world: Za’atari in Jordan, Cox’s Bazaar in Bangladesh and Kyaka in Uganda.
Conflict has driven these children from their respective homes in Syria, Myanmar and the Democratic Republic of Congo, forcing them to rebuild their lives in new surroundings.
