With the growing number of forced migration, the refugee has a difficulty to integrate into the host country.

Refugee children take up 40% of the world's displaced people. The U.N. refugee agency counted more than 153,000 refugee children who were unaccompanied or separated from parents or adult caregivers in 2019. The number of displaced children living on their own is estimated to be much higher because not all governments keep track of them.

In 2019, more than one-third of all refugees came from three countries: Syria (Arabic), Venezuela (Spanish), Afghanistan (Pashto and Persian, both Indo-European languages). While their original language may not apply to the transition or destination countries, it has been a hurdle of the integration.

Learning the language of the host country is not only important for refugees themselves (as it helps them integrate into a new way of living and mitigates trauma and loss) but also building a more empathetic, understanding and cohesive society.

Our project is to create a free digital learning platform for the refugee children, to cater both the ones in refugee camps and the spontaneous ones.
