From Ukraine to Ethiopia, Colombia to Venezuela, Afghanistan to Bangladesh, the needs of refugees are growing each day.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is working day-and-night across the globe to help those who need it most, but we can’t do this alone.
Thank you for donating today, and helping to deliver shelter, protection, psycho-social support, direct financial assistance, and other life-saving support to people forced to flee their homes.
Whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever club you support, you can make a difference.
80% of your donation will go to people affected by the war in Ukraine and 20% will go to other emergency situations around the world.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, leads international action to protect people forced to flee because of conflict and persecution. We deliver life-saving assistance like shelter, food and water, help safeguard fundamental human rights, and develop solutions that ensure people have a safe place to call home where they can build a better future.
Your money helps UNHCR provide protection, shelter and other forms of assistance, and advocacy on behalf of displaced and stateless people every year. We ensure that as many funds as possible are redirected to refugees, stateless persons and asylum-seekers. 85 per cent of all funds raised go directly to field operations. 7 per cent is allocated for global programmes, helping refugees, internally displaced people, asylum seekers and stateless people under the UNHCR mandate around the world, and 8 per cent is for headquarters administration. 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.
