Lend a Hand: Refugee Crisis in Europe

September 23, 2015

Civil war and the rise of ISIS are taking their toll on Syria and Iraq, with thousands of refugees making their way through Turkey, Central Europe, and now Scandinavia. The number of child refugees now exceeds those during World War II, with the situation expected to get worse before it gets better. Fundholders and donors across New Jersey have asked us about the most promising interventions on the ground, and how they can help these migrant families.
