Today, there are more refugees and internally displaced people than at any point since World War II. An unprecedented 70.8 million people around the world have been forced from home. Among them are nearly 25.9 million refugees, over half of whom are under the age of 18.
Young refugees face many challenges including homesickness, cultural shock, lack of employment, racism and discrimination. As a result, many of them become disengaged, creating long-term social gaps. For people with social isolation and similar issues, participation in the arts can help provide them with a means to express painful emotions, confront difficult memories and find an escape from daily burdens. The use of songs, pictures and other artistic devices can also help children learn their lessons more effectively by enabling them to use their imaginations and their senses more completely than is possible with less creative learning methods.

The Foundation will also build a state-of-the-art recording studio and bring in artists from around the world to coach and mentor the refugees.
