The number of people fleeing from war, violence, and oppression is the highest ever: 68.5 million men, women, and children. 1 in 110 people around the world are actively on the run. As a humanitarian organization, the Netherlands Refugee Foundation has been providing assistance to refugees and displaced people since 1976. In acute emergencies we provide life-saving emergency aid in the form of shelter, medical care, food, and clean water, but we also provide longer term aid such as eduation.
