In places where everything is lost, generosity still lives.
From Syria and Sudan to Yemen, Afghanistan, Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh, and beyond, refugees and displaced families continue to comfort, share, and support one another—despite facing immense hardships every single day.
They are not defined by what they have lost, but by what they choose to give.
All they need is the opportunity to keep going—to focus on looking after their families and rebuilding their lives in safety, security, and dignity.
As we come together with our own families this Holy Month, the spirit of Ramadan brings us closer to what matters most…kindness, community, and generosity.
Because giving is a choice. And choices change lives. This Ramadan, we ask that you choose to act.
Your donation can help displaced families afford urgently needed safe shelter, warm meals, clean water, medical care, and more.
Give today—because generous hearts find a way.
May the blessings of this holy month be upon you and your family. Ramadan Kareem.

*Tax Disclaimer: Donations made directly to UNHCR may not be tax-deductible in your country of residence. Laws regarding contributions to United Nations agencies vary from country to country. UNHCR does, however, partner with dedicated fundraising associations in a number of countries as well as having country-specific offices with their own fundraising capacity. These countries include the USA, Germany, Spain, Japan, Australia, Italy, Canada, UK, South Korea, Hong Kong and Belgium. In order to make tax-deductible donations through these offices, you will need to donate through their individual websites. We are, however, able to issue a receipt of donation from UNHCR international that may be accepted in certain instances. We would suggest that if in doubt you contact your local tax advisor for guidelines on whether your gift is eligible or not.
