Our team works hand in hand with local schools and communities to strengthen access to quality education for refugee and vulnerable children ensuring no one is left behind.
At Similar Ground, we create spaces where youth lead conversations, influence decisions, and shape solutions. Through advocacy and engagement, we amplify their voices and protect their rights.
At Similar Ground, we use creative expression to heal, connect, and empower children and youth. Through play-based activities, we support emotional wellbeing, build confidence, and spark joy in safe spaces.
Crises, like conflicts, can have serious effects on children’s lives. Children’s safety, dignity, and healthy growth are at risk. They may get separated from their families, be trafficked, recruited by armed groups, or face physical or sexual abuse.
Similar Ground is a refugee-led organization founded and led by youth, dedicated to empowering refugee children and young people. Established in late 2020, it was inspired by a group of youth who had participated in a Youth Advocacy project in Bidibidi. We design and run programs that create safe and supportive spaces where children and youth can learn, grow, and thrive regardless of their circumstances. Our work focuses on building resilience, nurturing potential, and fostering positive change in their lives. By providing children, adolescents, and youth with an environment of safety, stability, and opportunities, we help them shape brighter futures for themselves and their communities.
We make sure children can keep learning, even in difficult times
We work with children, families, communities, and governments in conflict areas to keep children safe.
We work every day to create safe and caring places where refugee children can play, learn, make friends, and feel loved. Through fun activities like music, art, games, and storytelling, we help children heal from tough times and build hope for the future.
Give a child the chance to learn, grow, and build a better future. Your support can change a life one classroom at a time.
