Summary of donation information

Donate today to ensure that those in need, affected by conflict and persecution, are able to observe the holy month with peace of mind.

Without your generosity this Ramadan, the most vulnerable refugees and internally displaced will not be able to secure their most basic needs. Your donation means medicine for an elderly in need of urgent medical care, a safe roof over the head of a widowed mother and her children, a warm meal on an iftar table to make sure a family doesn’t go to bed hungry.

In Ramadan, UNHCR will act as a bridge between people like yourself who are looking to make an impactful giving during the holy month, and those who need it the most.

Through our regular vulnerability assessment programmes, we identify the most vulnerable families from Syria, Yemen, Iraq, Rohingya, Nigeria and Afghanistan who are in need of help, so that your gift will make an impact and reach those with the greatest needs. 

In a world where over 82 million people are forcibly displaced, the work of UNHCR is more important than ever, especially as the leading agency on the ground mandated to serve and protect refugees and internally displaced people. 

Please donate now and trust that your gift, no matter how big or small, will make an impact in the lives of those displaced.

 

Why is it important that you help refugees?

Never before in history have there been so many people forced to flee war, violence or persecution. More than 100 million men, women 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 means that children are going without food, sick people are not receiving adequate care, and schools are not being built. 

Your contribution to the work of UNHCR is needed more than ever.

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. 

Why is a monthly donation better for you?

With a monthly contribution, you can 

  • Make a bigger difference: A monthly contribution helps save lives in the short term but also helps build better futures in the long run.

  • 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 your monthly donation, your contribution will automatically be deducted through a secured transfer and you will be making a real difference every month.

  • Be very proud: You are there for people forced to flee when they need you most.
