refugees and host communities in the country. In 2020, we reached 250,000

Ensuring that children affected by displacement and crisis have access to safe
and quality education;

Improving critical school and health infrastructure in the refugee camps and
the host community;

Providing youth – particularly girls – with social and recreational activities
as well as life skills training;

Working with local partners to ensure inclusion of persons with disabilities
in the camp and the host community; and

Supporting the regional Ministry of Health with a range of health
