[Opening Universities for Refugees (OUR) @OURRefugeeEd]

On #World #Refugee #Day, we highlight a few refugee youth, sharing what education means to them and celebrating their determination to keep showing up, no matter the challenges. But one truth remains clear: without safety, neither education nor any future is possible.

It will empower them to uplift their families and communities. A heartfelt thank you to all who have made this possible. It is inspiring to see Singaporeans continue to step forward to contribute in many meaningful ways.

This evening, I had the privilege of joining the organisers and partners of the Palestinian Scholarship Initiative for a meaningful iftar. This initiative will provide opportunities for Palestinian students to pursue university education in Singapore.

[Lawrence Wong @LawrenceWongST]

Singapore is committed to supporting Gaza’s urgent needs. Beyond humanitarian aid, we also provide capacity-building programmes to support the Palestinians in eventually governing their own state. At the same time, many ground-up initiatives complement the Government’s efforts.
