FilmAid Asia champions education and entertainment for refugees through the media.

Founded by independent filmmakers in 1999 in response to the refugee crisis in Kosovo, FilmAid is a pioneering leader in humanitarian and crisis communications. Using a community-based, multiplatform approach to spread knowledge and information, FilmAid provides refugees and displaced people with access to life-saving information about their rights, safety, health and future. FilmAid programmes currently reach more than 500,000 people in refugee camps and urban areas every year and all over the world; from Kenya to Haiti, Thailand to Afghanistan.
