Today is World Refugee Day, a day set apart to remind us of those with no place to call home — the internally Displaced Persons, asylum seekers and refugees who have fled violence in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, South Sudan, Somalia, Myanmar and more, fleeing genocides and mass atrocities.The number of refugees, asylum-seekers and internally displaced people around the world now tops 65 million, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

You can offer hope. 

Since Jewish World Watch was founded by Rabbi Harold M. Schulweis and Janice Kamenir-Reznik in 2004, JWW has been speaking out on behalf of the world’s most vulnerable people — survivors of injustices inflicted against whole ethnic groups and nations, and especially against women and children.

Through the generosity of thousands of donors like you, we are helping Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh prepare for the monsoon season, and offering aid to those in need of basic health care. Your donations have made it possible for us to send hospital supplies to doctors working in war-torn Syria, saving lives and sustaining the wounded. Your gifts help rehabilitate survivors of rape in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, teaching women new skills so they can build businesses to support their families. Together we are supporting essential preschools in the Darfuri refugee camps in Chad, which also provide a daily meal to children who otherwise don’t get enough food.

The 65 million displaced persons worldwide need to be remembered as individuals in need of essential, life-saving support and care. They need your help. Join us in offering essential aid to some of the world’s most vulnerable people. Please donate to Jewish World Watch today.
