Secure Donation
UNHCR | Afghanistan Emergency
Afghan people are facing impossible situations this winter. With no money, no belongings, and no home to return to, families are living in ruins or sleeping under plastic sheeting in bitterly cold conditions and heavy snow. We urgently need your help to reach families and provide support before it gets too cold.
With your donations, UNHCR – the UN Refugee Agency – can repair roofs, replace windows and doors, and provide new shelters for families who have nothing. We can also provide a traditional Bukhari heater and supplies of wood to help families stay warm as temperatures plummet below -−20°C, as well as cash grants so that people can buy the essentials they really need.
Shelter isn’t a luxury – it's what keeps families alive through winter.
Donate now to provide Afghan families with shelter, warmth and protection this winter.

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 donors@unhcr.org.
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.
