The Community Sponsorship initiative enables communities throughout the UK to welcome refugees who have arrived with government approval via resettlement. In Britain alone, there are around 90 projects with more in the pipeline. Faith groups, businesses and others are all involved.<\/p>\n

There are also initiatives in Canada, Spain, Ireland and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Groups help the participants as they learn English, find schools, access heathcare, jobs and training as they settle. The sponsors gain something too: new friends and a chance to make a difference.<\/p>\n

The programme was introduced in 2016 by the UK government in partnership with civil society and local authorities.<\/p>\n

So far, around 450 refugees have benefitted and the government is encouraging more groups to step forward.<\/p>\n

Haitham Daour, 16, gave Ged Cavanagh a high five after a strike at a bowling alley in Bury, north-west England. Before the Daour family arrived in the UK they had never tried ten-pin bowling. Before the pandemic, they went once a month with Ged and other community sponsors.<\/p>\n

Ged, a retired IT manager, was an early volunteer when the idea of helping a refugee family was first put forward. The family arrived in Bury, near Manchester, in August 2018. They fled Syria’s war and spent seven years in Lebanon before being resettled in England.<\/p>\n

“The children have become happy. The welcome from people was great.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Khaled Jhayem family (left to right) Adel, Ola, Ghofran and Ismael, stand near The Beatles statue on the waterfront in their new home, Liverpool. Ghofran had feared moving the children to a new country, and culture, but after six months she says they are happy.<\/p>\n

Mohammed, Islam, and Zain Al-Shaabin, and Jim Robinson (left) along with members of the Peckham Sponsors Refugees group watched their local football team, Dulwich Hamlet FC, in action on a Saturday afternoon in south London, United Kingdom.<\/p>\n

The\u202fboys and their parents fled Syria soon after the start of the\u00a0 war and are now supported by\u202fPeckham Sponsors Refugees, one of the country’s largest groups.<\/p>\n

To set up a group, communities must have a constitution, raise funds, identify housing, obtain local authority consent, develop safeguarding procedures, engage in training and complete an application. Participants say the process is getting easier.<\/p>\n

In Burkina Faso, almost nowhere is safe.<\/h2>

Armed groups, extremists and criminal gangs wage terror on a daily basis, murdering those who refuse to fight alongside them. The killers shoot families to death. They rape and torture women. They destroy anything that symbolizes the state: schools, police stations, even hospitals.<\/p>

Those who survive an attack know they might only be lucky once, so they run. In the past 15 months, 800,000 Burkinab\u00e8 have fled their homes to seek safety. Some cross into Mali or Niger, where conditions can be just as perilous. Others look for shelter within Burkina Faso. But as the violence spreads, many are fleeing for the second and third time.<\/p>

Daily life in Burkina Faso, a landlocked nation of 19 million, is precarious. Meet six people \u2013 photographed and interviewed in early February 2020 \u2013 whose lives have been turned upside down.<\/p>

The violence in the Sahel \u2013 an arid belt that stretches for thousands of miles along the southern edge of the Sahara \u2013 erupted after the 2011 revolution in Libya and a 2012 uprising in Mali. Armed men swept across borders, exploiting ethnic tensions, poverty and weak governance to terrorize local populations. When the bloodshed reached Burkina Faso, roughly four years ago, it ended the peace the country had long known.<\/p>

For years, people escaping conflict in neighbouring Mali fled to Burkina Faso, and some 25,000 refugees lived in camps across the country. Many of these settlements have come under attack more than once, and the threat of violence makes it nearly impossible for aid workers from UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, and other organizations to reach some of the refugees. It has also become too dangerous to keep markets and schools open. Jobs are disappearing.<\/p>

The refugees face an impossible choice: stay and risk being attacked, or return home to a country still in turmoil. Some are going back to Mali, even to areas so dangerous that humanitarians and national defense forces cannot enter.<\/p>

Now Burkinab\u00e8 are taking in their fellow citizens. But communities are at a breaking point. Already struggling with poverty, failing schools and a fragile health system, they now face an additional threat: the new coronavirus.<\/p>

To slow the pandemic, borders have been sealed and schools closed, a curfew has been imposed from 19:00 to 05:00, movement is restricted to and from towns with confirmed cases of COVID-19, and gatherings of more than 50 people are banned.<\/p>

Hawa was at home in Boukouma when her nephew alerted the family that armed men were approaching. Within seconds, two dozen men on motorcycles roared up and opened fire as she and other women hid inside. \u201cThey killed my husband and his brother when they had their hands in the air,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>

Hawa buried the dead the next day, then fled with 32 members of her family. Now she has found relative safety at her son\u2019s home in Kaya, 150 kilometres to the south. But she has nightmares, waking up each night screaming, phantom gunshots ringing in her ears. \u201cI am a widow of this conflict,\u201d she said.<\/span><\/p>

Displacement in Burkina Faso has risen tenfold in the past year, surpassing 800,000. More than 90 per cent of the displaced live with host families, and UNHCR estimates there are still more than 35,000 families in need of shelter in the country.<\/p>

He helps ensure that refugees have access to food, water and shelter. As a Malian refugee, he feels honoured to work for UNHCR, but fears it could make him a target.<\/p>

Born and raised in Burkina Faso, Eric works as a UNHCR associate registration officer in the country\u2019s north-east, not far from the borders with Niger and Mali. He had worked in Goudoubo camp since 2012, when Malian refugees began seeking safety in his country. He feels a kinship with the refugees he serves.<\/span><\/p>

\u201cI have been a brother to the refugees, and them to me,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>

Now that the conflict has spilled into his country, Eric says the refugees are offering him support. They empathize with his sadness. Now that the areas where refugees are living is more dangerous, Eric cannot see them as often, if at all. He feels \u201cweak and worried.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

A\u00a0UNHCR study<\/a> found that 38 per cent of its staff worldwide working directly with refugees or displaced people were at risk of secondary traumatic stress, a disorder that can bring on physical, mental and emotional exhaustion.<\/p>

Prevalent among people who work under emotional stress for long periods, the disorder can make it impossible to carry out normal daily functions and cause negative feelings about oneself or the world.<\/p>

Yobi Sawadogo is an advisor to the mayor of Kaya, a town that counted 66,000 residents in its last census (in 2012) and now hosts more than 300,000 displaced Burkinab\u00e8. The local government welcomes people in need, but the influx of newcomers has drastically changed daily life. The lines to fetch water are growing longer, and health centres are becoming overcrowded. Markets are still well stocked, but only because those who fled here have no money to buy food.<\/span><\/p>

In spite of the challenges, Yobi said his town will continue to accept those who seek safety, partly out of solidarity and partly out of fear. \u201cWe say that what happened to them could happen to us,\u201d he said, \u201cWe can\u2019t turn people away.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Until 2016, Burkina Faso was a model for relatively peaceful co-existence among ethnically diverse communities, and a safe haven for refugees. The violence there is unprecedented, and the government is grappling to manage the scale of humanitarian needs. But for now, many are still sleeping outdoors, exposed to the elements and other dangers, and in acute need of better access to water and sanitation facilities.<\/p>

UNHCR and other UN agencies have called for US$255 million globally to support government efforts to combat COVID-19 in areas hosting refugees and IDPs.<\/p>
