For every emergency. Wherever, whenever
Millions of people are displaced around the world, forced to flee emergencies such as war and natural hazards.
In emergencies like the earthquake in Colombia, every moment counts. Donate now to UNHCR Emergency Action to help us scale up where and when it is needed most.
UNHCR is on the ground, working to identify and protect the most vulnerable, and stands ready to support local authorities and partners by scaling up life‑saving shelter, core relief assistance, and protection services as the crisis evolves.
In Colombia and around the world, you can make a difference. Donate to UNHCR Emergency Action.
Your support helps ensure that refugees and displaced families caught up in the next emergency can access vital assistance, protection, and shelter as soon as possible – even in the most underreported crises.
Together we can be stronger in an uncertain world. Together we can be prepared. Together we can be more certain of making a difference.
How would you like to donate?
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.
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.
