HELP WHERE THEY'RE GOING

While donating money to refugee groups is helpful and in their best interests, it's not sustainable. Refugees often live indefinitely in camps that were only meant and built for temporary housing. To truly help refugees, support their interest in a better life, and endorse open borders that allow them to continue their lives, contribute to the global economy, and stand up for more peaceful politics.
