A charitable foundation formed by LEGO will reportedly grant $100 million to the Sesame Workshop to help provide play-based learning programs to refugee children.

The initiative will be the toymaker’s first major humanitarian project and aims to help children who have been affected by the Rohingya and Syrian refugee crises, the LEGO Foundation announced Wednesday.

“By providing play-based learning to children in crisis, we can help mitigate the detrimental, long term effects of displacement and trauma,” John Goodwin, the chief executive of the LEGO Foundation, said of the move.

“We do risk losing a whole generation if we don’t help the children who find themselves in these emergency settings,” Goodwin continued.

As part of the project, the children will be provided with storybooks, videos and games that feature the most popular puppets on “Sesame Street.”

The Sesame Workshop will also reportedly work with the Bangladeshi relief organization BRAC in addition to the International Rescue Committee working in countries around Syria to reach the children affected by the ongoing crises.

According to Reuters, more than 700,000 Rohingya Muslims fled an army crackdown in Myanmar last year. The crackdown has reportedly led to the deaths of thousands, the agency also reports, citing human rights groups and Rohingya activists.

The United Nations reports roughly 68.5 million people are displaced worldwide. Around 25 million of those displaced are said to be refugees and more than half of that number are reported to be under the age of 18.
