UNHCR | Donate to support refugees from the DR Congo

Increased fighting in eastern DR Congo is forcing thousands of people to flee their homes.

Families are being torn apart, homes destroyed, and people fleeing with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

People forced to flee and the communities hosting them urgently need emergency shelter, food, water, and basic life-saving support.

We are reinforcing our operations in neighbouring countries like Burundi and Uganda to support new arrivals, and we continue carrying out key protection activities inside the DRC.

But we can’t do it alone. Please donate today and help people forced to flee.

Bora, 52, who is among more than 135,000 people forced to flee the violence in Sake in North Kivu province, has arrived safely at the Mugunga displacement site near Goma, eastern DR Congo.

Summary of donation information

One-off donation: Your one-time donation will support people forced to flee inside the Democratic Republic of the Congo and across borders.
Monthly donation: Consider making a monthly donation. Monthly donations help assist more families forced to flee. By making a regular gift to UNHCR, you can provide refugees and displaced people worldwide with ongoing relief, protection, and hope for a better future.
What does UNHCR do?

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is a global organization working to save lives, protect rights and build a better future for refugees, internally displaced communities and stateless people. We work to ensure that everybody has the right to seek asylum and find refuge from violence or persecution.

Why should I donate monthly or on a regular basis?

By choosing to give a regular donation, you will be helping UNHCR to plan ahead and invest in long-term projects to improve the lives the 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].

How does UNHCR spend my donation?

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.
