REAL STORIES

The Young People We're Supporting

Meet some of the refugee students whose education REUK has made possible.

Diwa

Diwa arrived in the UK from Afghanistan at 16. With support from an REUK mentor, she improved her English and Maths and now feels confident in her studies.

Abbas

Abbas needed help with GCSE English. REUK matched him with a mentor, Doya, who also came to the UK as a refugee.

Zahida

We were trying to raise our voice for hundreds of thousands of Afghan girls who dream of education but they still could not go to school.

When you wear your Raised Based item, you're celebrating your personal journey.
And now, you're also contributing to someone else's educational journey.
