How to Help Refugees Today - Donate to UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency
Children and families living in crises and conflict are at the most risk. That’s why we need to be there – in places torn apart by conflict and violence.
In the villages reduced to rubble by natural disasters. In the refugee camps where children arrive traumatised and desperate for safety.
And now as coronavirus sweeps across the globe, children in refugee camps face more suffering and upheaval.
Refugee camps and settlements are already squeezed beyond breaking point, overwhelmed by the scale of the needs.
Giving monthly is the best way to ensure that UNHCR can urgently respond and help refugee children and families receive the life-saving relief and support they desperately need.

*Tax Disclaimer: Donations made directly to UNHCR may not be tax deductible in your country of residence. Laws regarding contributions to United Nations agencies vary from country to country. UNHCR does, however, partner with dedicated fundraising associations in a number of countries as well as having country specific offices with their own fundraising capacity. These countries include the USA, Germany, Spain, Japan, Australia, Italy, Canada, UK, South Korea, Hong Kong and Belgium. In order to make tax deductible donations through these offices you will need to donate through their individual websites. We are, however, able to issue a receipt of donation from UNHCR international that may be accepted in certain instances. We would suggest that if in doubt you contact your local tax advisor for guidelines on whether your gift is eligible or not.
