UNHCR | Donate to Syrian refugees and help save lives

The recent events in Syria have displaced almost one million people—most of them women and children—from areas including Aleppo, Hama, Homs and Idleb governate. Now, as winter deepens, they urgently need shelter and essential supplies to survive.

Families that are returning home are returning to destroyed homes and a country battered by nearly 14 years of war and economic crises. An estimated 90 per cent of the population lives in poverty and even before the latest escalation, 7.2 million people were internally displaced by conflict.

In Jordan, which hosts many Syrian refugees’ families, 80% of refugees are unable to meet essential expenses to survive. Shelter, food, medicine, and education are urgently needed. Children are the hardest hit: many of them cannot finish school and are at risk of exploitation and child labor.

Now winter has hit, and families are also battling the cold. UNHCR, The UN Refugee Agency is on the ground, providing critical support where it’s needed most. We are committed to staying and delivering for people forced to flee—providing core relief items, legal assistance and psychological support.

But we need your help to reach even more people with urgent aid.

Please donate now.

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.
