A Valentine’s Day love story❤️

Amouna and Hemyir met fleeing war and reunited while helping others at a hospital in CAR.

Now, they’re chasing their dreams together through education📚- her path is film, and his is teaching.

Thanks, @MastercardFdn, for supporting their journey.

I’ve had the honor of working with Ali and other 🇸🇩 refugee youth in 🇨🇫 since 2023. Today, seeing him address a room full of a hundred UN, NGO, and gov't partners in FRENCH 🎤 - after just one year of learning the language at University of Bangui 📚 - was incredibly moving ✨

[UNHCR CAR @UNHCR_CAR]

"I feel totally at home now in CAR, and I thank the @MastercardFdn, UNHCR, the CAR government 🇨🇫and its people for warmly welcoming me and giving me the chance to learn French," said Ali Mohamed, one of 30 🇸🇩 refugee DAFI scholars, the first cohort in CAR, during the launch.

Imagine coming home after 10 years in exile.

An emotional moment at the 🇨🇲–🇨🇫 border as Central Africans return to reunite with family and rebuild their lives.

Since 2017, 74k+ have returned. UNHCR and partners will continue to support the gov’t to welcome 60k more this year.🤝

[UNHCR CAR @UNHCR_CAR]
