Many children who arrive in the United States come from situations with little to no healthcare. This can result in undiagnosed and untreated illnesses or injuries. 2L assists these children in accessing safe and reliable health care to ensure a smooth transition to American life. Children represent the future of this country and no child can feel secure without first receiving quality care.

Health Care

Here are the numbers:

13M

13 million children around the world are under the age of 18 (2022)

108.4M

108.4 million people were forcibly removed from their native country as a result of persecution, violence, human rights violations, and political events (2022)

62.5M

62.5 million were forcibly displaced within their native country

35.3M

35.3 million children around the globe

5.4M

5.4 million asylum-seekers worldwide

It is grossly unjust that a child’s chances of survival can be shaped just by their place of birth, and that there are such vast inequities in their access to lifesaving health services.
