UNHCR helps to save lives and build better futures for the millions of people forced to flee their homes.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency works to ensure that everybody has the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge, having fled violence, persecution or war at home.
Since 1950, we have faced multiple crises on multiple continents, and provided vital protection and assistance to refugees, asylum-seekers, internally displaced and stateless people, many of whom have nobody left to turn to.
We help to save lives and build better futures for millions forced from home.

Help families survive extreme weather and hunger
In places like Malawi, Kenya, and South Sudan, crops are failing and entire communities are being uprooted.
Without food, clean water, or shelter, families are struggling to survive.
UNHCR is on the ground before, during, and after disaster strikes. We build defences before floods hit. We deliver food, water, and shelter in emergencies. And we help families rebuild through farming, fishing, and small businesses.
We don’t give up. And we won’t leave people to face climate disasters alone. Are you with us? Donate now.
