About Night of the Refugee

The Dutch Refugee Foundation (Stichting Vluchteling) has organised the Night of the Refugee on the weekend before World Refugee Day every year since 2010. Thousands of participants walk through the evening or night to raise money for emergency aid needed around the world and raise awareness of the plight of people escaping conflict, war or climate change.

What are we walking for?

As an emergency aid organisation, the Dutch Refugee Foundation has been helping people escape some of the world’s worst humanitarian crises for many years. We work with local partners to provide life-saving aid to refugees and displaced persons in over thirty countries. With the money raised in 2022 we helped to restore wells in drought-stricken Somalia, giving people access to clean (drinking) water. We also provided food aid for people fleeing the war in Ukraine, as well as providing medical supplies to Syria.
