Refugees and displaced people live very insecure lives - but you can help

Right now, more than 100 million people are displaced or have otherwise been forced from their homes. 

This may be because of war and conflict. It may be because of natural disasters, or because of something else entirely. 

No matter why, or where in the world they have fled, all refugees have one thing in common. They need help.
