UNHCR | Protect Syrian families this winter | Donate now

Syrians are facing a stark choice this winter: returning to a homeland riddled with destruction, or remaining refugees in countries like Jordan. Together, this winter we can help families face it with strength, safety, and dignity.

Syrian families urgently need our help to protect them from the extreme weather this winter, both in Syria and places like Jordan where many Syrians still remain.

In Jordan, families are living in old, flimsy and damaged shelters, struggling to keep out the rain and the snow, while families returning home to Syria are being greeted by mass destruction. Many of these families face the winter without heating, insulation, and enough support to keep warm.

The quick decline in aid this year means that we are running out of time. Can you help us act quickly?

With your support, we can help to repair shelters in Jordan and provide emergency assistance to people returning to Syria, such as blankets, mattresses, cooking utensils and jerry cans to collect water. We can also provide shelter and help repair bombed-out buildings to make them habitable again. In addition, we can provide cash grants so that families can buy items to help them through the winter months, from warm clothes to fuel for heating.

We have to act now. Please donate today to protect vulnerable Syrian families.

What does UNHCR do?

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is a global organization working to save lives, protect rights and build a better future for refugees, internally displaced communities and stateless people. We work to ensure that everybody has the right to seek asylum and find refuge from violence or persecution.

Why should I donate monthly or on a regular basis?

By choosing to give a regular donation, you will be helping UNHCR to plan ahead and invest in long-term projects to improve the lives the refugees.

Faster help: Monthly donations allow UNHCR to respond to emergencies when a crisis occurs. Your gift can go where it's most needed.

Support of long-term operations: More predictable income helps UNHCR go beyond short-term emergency aid and provide families with ongoing relief and protection every single day.

Easy to donate: To set up a recurring donation, please choose the Monthly option in the form. You can always update your donations by contacting our Donor Care team at [email protected].

How does UNHCR spend my donation?

Your money helps UNHCR provide protection, shelter and other forms of assistance, and advocacy on behalf of displaced and stateless people every year. UNHCR staff work as closely as possible with and for people forced to flee, with 90 per cent of our workforce based in field locations. For further details on UNHCR's budget, read our Global Report.
