UNHCR | Donate to support refugees from the DR Congo

Families displaced by violence and refugees are facing a deadly Ebola outbreak in eastern DRC and across the border of Uganda.

Families were already struggling due to ongoing conflict, with homes destroyed, and people fleeing with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

People forced to flee and the communities hosting them urgently need soap, hand sanitizer and access to healthcare to help prevent the transmission of this deadly disease.

We are scaling up prevention and awareness measures, as we have for previous disease outbreaks like Mpox, so that families have the information they need to help stop the spread—but more support is urgently needed.

We can’t do it alone. 

Please donate today and help people forced to flee.

Summary of donation information

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 donors@unhcr.org.

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.
