The Wealth of Refugees draws upon a decade of original qualitative and quantitative research to offer practical solutions.

Hands up! Who wants to be a refugee? I certainly did not! My mother had other ideas. For a fateful moment, the iron fist of oppression eased its grip. This was all she needed. We crossed two borders.

Yet, above all, the enduring courage of ordinary people caught up in extraordinary times.
