Donate to help prevent the spread of Mpox

Donate now to help prevent the spread of mpox and protect forcibly displaced people.

 

The majority of cases have been reported in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where 7.3 million people have been displaced by conflict and natural disasters. Now, cases are on the rise in neighboring countries that have been generously hosting millions of refugees for decades.

The virus is threatening people who are already living in desperate conditions—displaced by conflict, and lacking even basic necessities like safe shelter, clean water and medical care.

Your donation today can provide soap and clean water and improve sanitation facilities in refugee camps and displacement sites to help prevent the spread of disease. Your support will also ensure that refugees and displaced people can access national health services for early diagnosis and care.

Please donate now to help save lives and protect people forced to flee.

Is my donation secure?

All bank details used to process payment are encrypted using SSL protocol. Under no circumstances is it stored on our computer systems.

How will my donation be used?

UNHCR guarantees that your donation will be earmarked for the emergency operations you have decided to support and will respect this earmarking. In the event that our response to this operation is fully funded, UNHCR will use the funds raised for its other priority missions. 

Why is a monthly donation better for refugees?

Thanks to a monthly contribution, refugees receive our help 

  • Faster: More predictable income allows us to respond immediately when a crisis occurs, ensuring that UNHCR is always the first to come to the aid of refugees in need. 

  • In a more durable manner: Thanks to monthly donations, UNHCR can go beyond short-term emergency aid, allowing us to plan ahead and to find durable solutions for and with refugees.  

  • In a more efficient way: Long-term, predictable income allows UNHCR to do what it does best, and that’s saving lives, protecting fundamental rights and building better futures. It lowers administrative costs and allows us to spend less time and energy on raising funds. 

How can I stay informed?

We’d love to keep you up to date on the situation of people forced to flee around the world, on how UNHCR is protecting them, and on how you can get involved. All you need to do when you are completing your donation is 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.”
