Since 2014, Roshan has been a safe space where over 700 of refugees fleeing war, persecution, and instability have found hope in the community and pursued brighter futures through education.
Looking back at these 10 years, we can not help but marvel at all that has been possible in just a decade. What started as a small drop of hope in Jakarta, has turned into ripples of hope that resonate across the world.
