UNHCR | Donate to Syrian refugees and help save lives

After more than 12 years of crisis, life is becoming harder for Syrians inside and outside their country. As the crisis continues, hope is fading.

Inside Syria, an estimated 90 percent of the population lives in poverty, 12.9 million are food insecure, and 7.2 million are internally displaced.

In Jordan, 80% of refugee families are unable to meet essential expenses to survive. Shelter, food, medicine, and education are urgently needed. Children are the hardest hit: many of them cannot finish school and are at risk of exploitation and child labour.

And now, hundreds of thousands of people (both Lebanese and Syrians) have crossed from Lebanon to Syria, fleeing the escalating attacks in search of safety. The majority of them are children.

Amid these devastating conditions, winter is also approaching. UNHCR is on the ground across the region, providing urgent support – but as the cold weather sets in, we need your help to do more.

Please donate now.

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.
