for the vast majority of uprooted people, there are few things
as powerful as their faith in helping them cope with fear, loss,
separation, and destitution. Faith is also central to hope and
resilience.
Slide 12
Faith runs deep in the veins of conflict and disaster-affected
communities and plays a major role in their lives. It helps people
cope with trauma; it validates their humanity; it informs their
decisions; and it offers guidance, compassion, consolation and hope
in their darkest hours. At-risk or affected communities turn to
faith-based organisations for physical protection, material
assistance, guidance and counselling, spiritual confirmation,
compassion and understanding.
Slide 13
Religion very often is key in enabling refugees to overcome
their trauma, to make sense of their loss and to rebuild their
lives from nothing. Worship and religious traditions help uprooted
people reconfirm their identity as individuals and as members of a
community. Faith provides a form of personal and collective support
among victims that is crucial for their ability to recover from
conflict and flight. As such, faith contributes much more than many
people think to the protection and well-being of refugees and
eventually to finding durable solutions.
Slide 14
Faith-based organisations often enjoy higher levels of trust
from the community, better access and broader local knowledge, all
of which are important assets in programme design and delivery,
including in complex and insecure environments. Faith leaders and
communities, with the moral influence they wield and the large
networks they enjoy, can make a powerful contribution to creating
and maintaining positive attitudes towards foreigners and refugees
in their communities. Antonio Guterres, UNHCR
