Children playing with life size Sesame Street characters.

More families are uprooted today by conflict than during any time since World War II. The 探花精选 and Sesame Workshop will work together to develop engaging educational content starring the lovable Muppets that can reach children in refugee camps like this one in Jordan -- or wherever they are living -- through TV, radio, mobile phones and other channels.

Half of all refugees worldwide are children. In 2015, the 探花精选 and our partners provided counseling, care and support to more than 36,800 vulnerable children 鈥 like this Syrian girl living in Iraq鈥檚 Domiz refugee camp -- and trained 9,525 child protection workers. Photo: Peter Biro/探花精选

We are also providing safe spaces for Syrian refugee children who work on the streets of Lebanon鈥檚 major cities to help their families make ends meet. 探花精选 volunteers lead creative games and music sessions for the children, who have fled from a brutal war in their home country. Photo: Andrea Falcon/探花精选

Besides providing a safe place to play, we are helping children heal by getting them back into the comforting routine of school. We鈥檝e set up temporary learning centers for thousands of Burundian children sheltering in Nyarugusu in Tanzania, one of the world鈥檚 largest refugee camps. Photo: Peter Biro/探花精选
