What are migrants?

Migrants are people who move from one place to another to live somewhere new.

Imagine you're playing with your toys in your room, but you really want to play with your friend who lives across the street. So you pack up your favorite toys and go to their house to spend time together. That’s like what migrants do, they leave their home to live somewhere else, often because they’re looking for better opportunities, safety, or just a new adventure.

Sometimes people move because their home isn’t safe anymore, like if there's a big storm or a fight happening nearby. Other times, they want to find a job that pays more money or go to school where they can learn new things. It’s kind of like moving from your bedroom to a bigger house, you're still you, but now you have more space to grow.

When migrants move, they bring their stories, languages, and traditions with them. It's like bringing your favorite blanket or snack when you visit a friend, it makes the new place feel more familiar and cozy.
