Eid Mubarak! Wishing a joyful and blessed Eid to all who celebrate. As many gather in celebration, millions around the world remain displaced, forced to flee their homes due to conflict beyond their control. The freedom to practice one’s religion safely is a basic human right, and one that must always be protected.

Children don’t understand systems or legal processes. They only know that something has changed, and the world they trusted no longer feels safe. Their rights must be upheld.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day! For many Irish immigrants, the journey to the United States began with hardship, as families left their homes in search of safety, opportunity, and the chance to rebuild their lives.

This is the home of a refugee woman in Dzaleka Refugee Camp who fosters an unaccompanied child. With little to no financial support, caregivers like her are often the only thing standing between these children and homelessness. After heavy rains linked to climate change, the walls and ceiling of their home have begun to collapse. What should be a place of safety is slowly falling apart around them. Still, she continues to maintain the home with the limited resources she has. This is one family’s story, but there are thousands like it.

As conflict escalates in the Middle East, hundreds of thousands of civilians are already on the move, and the crisis is still unfolding.

Three young girls fled armed conflict in the DRC. They were separated from their parents in the chaos, traveled over 500 km (approximately 310 miles) through an unfamiliar country, and arrived at a refugee camp in Malawi with nothing but each other. By sheer luck, a woman noticed them and took them in. Her initiative to take care of them spared them from navigating a fragile child protection system, vulnerable to aid and staffing cuts. By chance, a foster family was made. This is the reality for many unaccompanied and separated refugee children at Dzaleka Refugee Camp — Malawi's largest refugee camp, home to over 60,000 people, 93% of whom are women and children.

Five years after the coup, Myanmar’s crisis is only deepening. What began as peaceful protests has spiraled into a nationwide civil war. Nearly 4 million people are displaced inside the country, 1.5 million have fled across borders, and one in three people now needs humanitarian assistance. The country has dealt with the aftermath of a major earthquake, significant cuts to humanitarian aid, and a general election that most observers have condemned as illegitimate. The people of Myanmar continue to resist the military junta and demonstrate agency over their own future. The world must pay attention and act. Read our full situation update at bit.ly/3OT4AlZ

This #InternationalWomensDay, meet Yoana — and see what's possible when women are given the tools to thrive. Deported and then laid off from a textile factory, Yoana faced enormous obstacles. But through USCRI Honduras' REDII program, she channeled her skills and determination into building her own business, creating bedroom and bedding accessories. And she's just getting started. Right now, every dollar you give up to $3,500 will be matched. That means twice the entrepreneurial training, twice the opportunity, twice the impact for women like Yoana.
