Today, it  has grown to support over 2,000 refugee students across seven initiatives. From Indonesia to Afghanistan, the program has demonstrated the transformative power of refugee-led education. The program has produced students  who have graduated with internationally recognised certificates and some have even presented at the United Nations in Geneva.
