1. Project Definition

DrawMyLife presents a child’s perception of migration and exile through anonymised drawings and data.

Our aim is to use this data to raise awareness about the impact of migration on children’s lives among campaigners, researchers, and the wider public; and in particular to advocate for psychological support for children who have experienced trauma.

We will realise this aim in several ways:

• by enabling NGOs working with refugee children to upload the children’s drawings and quickly add important information about age, gender, mood - as well as the child’s own story.
• by designing a Campaign Tool to (1) drive traffic to the Destination Unknown campaign; and (2) for potential white-label by partners such as Terre des Hommes.
• by contributing unique data on the psychological health of refugee children to UNOCHA’s Humanitarian Data Exchange (HDX), for use by NGOs, governments, and media.
