Project Details
War, violence and persecution shatter lives and force people to flee. Propelled in the last year by the war in Ukraine and other deadly conflicts, the number of forcibly displaced has now surpassed the staggering milestone of 100 million for the first time on record.
When an emergency strikes, life can change in a matter of minutes. People are forced to flee their homes and often leave with nothing but the clothes they are wearing. They lose everything familiar to them—their home, their job, their community.
By choosing to give, you are standing with these families to let them know they are not facing these challenges alone. You can help keep UNHCR on the ground providing crucial humanitarian assistance and protection. And you can provide safety, relief and comfort to those who have lost everything.
What does your gift support?
In an emergency, UNHCR ensures refugees have what they need to survive – shelter, medical care, food, water and special protection and care for vulnerable children and women, including prevention and response to sexual violence.
Often, UNHCR manages multiple emergencies at the same time and immediate response is critical. With the compassion and commitment of individuals like you, UNHCR is able to deploy resources within 72 hours of a large-scale emergency, and jumpstart relief and protection assistance.
There is no way of knowing whether a refugee family will be uprooted for weeks, months or years. Your love today ensures they are supported every step of the way.
In the event that fundraising relief efforts for this specific area have concluded, recurring donations will be allocated to support active relief efforts where funds are most needed.
