Secure Donation
UNHCR | Afghanistan Emergency
Millions of people in Afghanistan are trapped in poverty and hunger, amid economic collapse and with human rights - particularly for women and girls - under attack. More than 2.4 million Afghans have returned or been forced to return to Afghanistan this year, many with nowhere safe to go.
Now a devastating earthquake has destroyed entire communities. Survivors are sleeping in the open, exposed to the elements. Winter is fast approaching—and without urgent support, lives are at risk.
Help us provide emergency relief and shelter now.
Communities are still reeling with the effects of previous earthquakes and flooding—they urgently need safe shelter, protection and relief.
UNHCR and partners are on the ground, racing to deliver emergency supplies inside Afghanistan like tents for families.
Your support is critical. Every donation helps us reach more families with the aid they need to survive. Please give today and help protect lives before it’s too late.

How would you like to donate?
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.
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.
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].
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.
