Help us protect Central African refugees | DONATE NOW
PLEASE HELP TODAY
How would you like to donate?
Brutal violence following the recent elections has driven hundreds of thousands to flee their homes in the Central African Republic in search of safety to other parts of the country or across borders. Most refugees are fleeing to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, crossing river in canoes. They arrive exhausted, with few to no belongings.
To make matters worse, refugees arrive in very remote areas with scarce resources. Many people lack even the basics to survive. Communities hosting refugees are being stretched to breaking point. They urgently need water, shelter, food, access to health and adequate sanitation to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and other diseases. Many also need psychosocial support to heal the trauma they have been through.
UNHCR teams are on the ground, registering new arrivals, delivering life-saving aid, protection and assistance to people who have fled their homes. But it’s not enough. Hundreds of thousands of people are still in need of support. We need your help to reach them.
Please donate today!
Your kind donation will help us to go further. Together, we can save lives and provide refugee children and families with safe homes.
Your help will support UNHCR emergency work where refugees and internally displaced people are in need.
Our fundraising promise
With a monthly contribution, refugees receive our help:
-
Faster: More predictable income allows us to respond immediately when a crisis occurs. Thanks to this, UNHCR is always the first to arrive to refugees in need.
-
More durable: Monthly donations allow UNHCR to go above & beyond short-term emergency aid and allows us to plan and build better futures together with refugees.
-
More efficiently: Long-term predictable income allows UNHCR to do what it does best, and that’s saving lives, protecting fundamental rights and build better futures. It lowers administrative costs and allows us to spend less on raising funds.
With a monthly contribution, you can:
-
Make a bigger difference: A monthly contribution has an immediate short-term impact where it helps save lives, but extends into a long-term impact to build better futures.
-
Have full control: You can very easily increase, decrease or cancel your monthly donation by emailing us at [email protected]
-
Save time: From the moment you create the monthly donation, the money will automatically be deducted with a secured transfer and you will make a real difference every month
-
Be very proud: You are there for refugees when they need you the most
Never in history have there been so many people that had to flee from war, violence or persecution. More than 82 million men, woman and children are desperately in need of a safer future. They are people just like you and me. UNHCR is helping them, but we cannot do this alone.
In order to continue to provide life-saving aid, we are in urgent need of more financial support. Lack of funding is leading to schools not being built, sick people not receiving the adequate care and food shortages.
Your contribution to the work of UNHCR is more than ever needed.
We’d love to keep you up-to-date on the situation of refugees all over the world, on how UNHCR is protecting them, and on how you can get involved. All you need to check the box “Yes, I would like to receive UNHCR news about the impact of my support on the daily lives of refugees and their future.” when you are completing your donation.
Your money helps UNHCR save lives, safeguard fundamental rights and build better futures for people forced to flee their homes. UNHCR staff work as closely as possible with and for people forced to flee, with 90% of our workforce based in field locations.
We promise you that your money goes where it is most needed. 84 cents of each Euro donated go directly to people in need in the field, 10 cents are used for global refugee-protecting programmes and the final 6 cents are for headquarter administration. Transparency is key for us so we’ve bundled everything in our publicly available Global Report.
