The Night of the Refugee is an fundraising walk with various routes, challenging kilometers and a strong feeling of solidarity amoungst the thousands of participants and volunteers.You can register individually, but also join as a team with your family, friends, company or school. During the Night, refugees with their own stories and various organizations related with this topic also participate. This often leads to great encounters and conversations along the way.
The Netherlands Refugee Foundation (Stichting Vluchteling) is organizing the Night of the Refugee since 2010 to bring awareness about the humanitarian crises in the world. Through this event we show that we care about refugees worldwide and aim to raise as much money as possible for The Netherlands Refugee Foundation and its local partners so they can provide life-saving emergency aid.
This year we walked 15 routes in ten cities with 7000 participants. Together, with more than 65.000 sponsors we raised a fantastic amount of more than 1.7. million euros! This allowed The Netherlands Refugee Foundation to give emergency aid in Iraq, Congo, Afghanistan and Chad. Below you can find information from the past three editions.
