UNHCR World Refugee Day
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, war or disaster at home.
Since 1950, we have faced multiple crises on multiple continents, and provided vital 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.



Ramadan Appeal
In a world where humanitarian crises are on the rise, communities often feel isolated and vulnerable. Yet it is at these times that we can make the most profound difference.
Together, we can turn isolation into solidarity, vulnerability into strength, and despair into hope.
Around the world, millions of displaced individuals and families are struggling to find safety, stability, and afford life’s basic necessities. Your support can help provide the essentials they need not just to survive, but to find hope and strength in these difficult times.
This Ramadan, let us come together to ensure no one feels forgotten or alone.
Your support is more than just a donation; it is a bridge of compassion, a testament to our shared humanity, and a lifeline for those in need.
