Hunger Emergency Campaign
In the East and Horn of Africa, the climate crisis is pushing millions of refugees and vulnerable communities to the brink. Recurring droughts and floods are disrupting lives, communities and basic needs like shelter, food and water. This is leading to the loss of crops, livestock, and income. With little means to adapt, displaced families are suffering the most.
“There is a big difference between this drought and the previous ones – we have never seen this kind of drought before.” Osman Ibrahim Mohamud, 70-years-old, from Somalia
UNHCR is supporting families with vital services like healthcare, food, water, sanitation, shelter, protection, cash grants and counselling, in Kenya, Ethiopia, Somalia, and South Sudan.
We are also helping to create long-lasting change that will protect refugees and displaced people for generations to come, such as providing clean energy solutions, as well as reforestation programmes in Kenyan camps, land restoration in Ethiopia, along with disaster risk reduction support in Somalia and South Sudan.
Your generous support will help to provide a lifeline to people caught between conflict and the climate crisis.

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.
UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is a global organisation dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for people forced to flee their homes because of conflict and persecution.
We lead international action to protect refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people.
We deliver life-saving assistance, help safeguard fundamental human rights, and develop solutions that ensure people have a safe place called home where they can build a better future. We also work to ensure that stateless people are granted a nationality.
We work in over 130 countries, using our expertise to protect and care for millions.
