Working together for safe migration

Restoring confidence to Bakr, a Syrian refugee in Egypt, and helping him make new friends. Offering support to children and young people such as Kossi aged 12, Kafu, 15, Ifede, 16, Midokpe, 17, and many others on the main West African migration routes thanks to the safe spaces we have set up en route.

At a time when half the displaced people in the world are aged under 18, Terre des hommes is committed to providing support to children and young people before, during and after their migration experience, to protecting and defending their rights while reducing their vulnerability, and fostering their integration and independence, wherever they might be - on migration routes, in refugee camps, or at their destination.

Bakr, 13 years old
Syrian refugee in Egypt 

We learn a lot here. My favourite thing is the activities that keep everyone busy. They make the children happy, and at the moment some children have no one to make them happy.” 

A refugee in Egypt with his family, young Bakr fled his war-torn native Syria at the age of four. Nine years have now passed. To help him integrate, Bakr is attending activity programmes organised by Terre des hommes with support from parents, involving games and exercises designed to meet the needs of every refugee child, regardless of their age.
