Four years ago today, 96 children in the Mbera camp pasted their faces onto the walls of the place they called home: a refugee camp in Mauritania, sitting at the border of Mali, deep in the Sahara.
At the time, 80,000 people lived there, having fled drought and instability. This Action helped bring visibility to the children who were displaced.
This Action happened alongside JR’s Déplacé·e·s project, which began in Ukraine with a five-year-old named Valeriia, then travelled to Rwanda, Mauritania, and beyond.
Interested in bringing visibility to more refugee communities around the world?
