CHILDREN OF WAR FOUNDATION

Education is not a luxury, but a basic human right. Education is necessary to drive change and it is the stepping stone to a better future for refugees, for Jordan, and for the Middle East


This is why the Run4Refugees initiative was born to provide high-quality education to refugee students who are not given the opportunity and tools in life which can unlock the hidden potential in them that can result in inventions and creations which have the power to drive immense change in our region.


A dedicated team of university students from all around the world will be fundraising $10,500 to support the education of refugees. Additionally, we will be running from the dead sea to the red sea. To run with refugees on their journey of education and to give them hope that there is a better future awaiting them.


Let us all run together towards a better future by lending the hand of hope, the hand of education, and the hand of a  better future to refugees.

Nour, age 13, hasn’t been to school since she fled from Syria to Jordan almost four years ago. Before having her basic right stripped away from her, she was one of the top students in her grade. Today, she spends her days working 12-hour shifts at a farm in exchange for shelter. In our world, only 2 out of 10 refugee adolescents, attend school.

In an effort to combat this problem in Jordan, which is home to one of the largest refugee populations, the Children of War Foundation (COWF) and online learning platform Abwaab have teamed up to help refugee adolescents continue their education at their own pace regardless of their circumstances. 

After a successful pilot program, where most vulnerable students - Nour being one of them - spent as many as four hours per day learning on the Abwaab platform, COWF and Abwaab decided to launch this fundraiser in order to reach as many vulnerable students as possible.But to achieve that we need your help.To support a student for one full year, it costs 150JDS/210USD to provide a tablet, internet and access to our online learning platform. Any contribution however can make a difference.
