With 110 million people worldwide being forcibly displaced, 2 in 5 of which are children, supporting refugees with immediate help and longer-term prospects has never been more needed.

In this episode, Carrie Grant discusses the issue of refugees and displacement with Teleri Jardine and David Munkley from World Vision.

We also hear from Job, an 18-year-old currently living in the Bidi Bidi settlement in Uganda. Job shares how he came to leave his home country of South Sudan, what life is like in the camp where he has now lived for 8 years, and he also explains why projects that amplify the voices of young refugees, such as mobile journalism in which he participates, are so popular with the young people living there.

Carrie, Teleri and David explore the difference between internally displaced people (IDP) and refugees, the complex reasons behind displacement, and the challenges faced by those who have had to flee their homes.

David, who is based in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which hosts a high number of refugee and IDPs, shares the day-to-day challenges faced by people who have been forced to seek refuge, and also explains why providing psychosocial support is essential for well-being and future prospects.

Both Teleri and David share how World Vision is supporting and empowering refugees and IDPs and offer a message of hope for the future.
