'The childhoods of refugee children are smeared with memories of
violence and disorder. Many have witnessed the deaths of their parents,
siblings, and friends.
When families are fleeing, trying to find a sense of safety even if it
means risking their lives to do so, these children are robbed of more
than just the experiences of playgrounds and movie theaters. They are
robbed of their education.
"Less than 2% of all humanitarian aid funding goes on education, even
though half of the world's refugees are kids," IRC president and CEO
David Miliband said in a recent interview on "60 Minutes."
Today, the average time a refugee is displaced is 20 years, according to
Miliband.'
