UNHCR I Venezuela Emergency I Donate Today

A powerful earthquake has struck Venezuela — a country already facing one of the world's largest humanitarian crises.

Two strong tremors have collapsed homes and severely damaged hospitals, water systems, and electricity across several states. A state of emergency has been declared, and families have fled their homes, many now left with nothing. 

This disaster has hit a population already stretched to a breaking point. Nearly 7 million Venezuelans have fled in recent years. For those who remain, an already fragile situation has escalated into a full emergency, with urgent needs for shelter, clean water, and protection.
 

You can help families survive this crisis.
 

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is leading the protection response in Venezuela. Our teams are on the ground ready to support the emergency response, mobilizing assistance, and deploying available emergency supplies to meet rapidly growing needs. 
 

But we cannot do this alone.
 

Please donate today.

Summary of donation information

One-off donation: Your gift will help assist and protect people forced to flee in Venezuela, who desperately need your support.
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.
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.
