KFC - START Pan EUR Refugees Support program

Support
refugees
across Europe.

Together with UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, Tent Partnership for Refugees and HIAS, we're making space at the table for refugees. Every refugee has been forced to flee their home to find safety. Often, all they need is a little helping hand to be able to thrive. The KFC START program is supporting refugees to prepare for the workplace, learn new languages, access vocational training and in turn contribute to the communities that they are a part of. We've already helped over 1,600 refugees and there's still so much more we can do.

Why we need
your help.

In the last decade alone, the number of people forced to flee around the world has doubled, and it continues to grow even as you read this.

Support the KFC START program and together, we can create a better future.
