Unite for Peace | UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency
The FIFA Women’s World Cup brings people together across borders. We stand united in our shared love of football.
Football is more than a game for refugees. Right now, 110 million people are displaced by conflicts or disasters like the war in Ukraine. Football gives refugee children the chance to run, laugh, play and dream.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, uses sport programs to empower refugees who have been forced to flee their homes – especially children and young people.
Sport provides a sense of normalcy in a situation that’s far from normal.
Will you give refugees a chance to play the beautiful game?
Please donate now to help us build sports facilities, buy equipment and educate coaches. Together we can share the joy of football with 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].
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.
