Secure Donation
UNHCR | Protect this winter | Donate now
After enduring years of war, conflict and persecution, people now face harrowing conditions and a bitter, cold winter.
The time to act is now. Protect, this winter, before lives are lost.
Winter is always a challenging time, but this year, thousands of families from Afghanistan, Syria and Ukraine are returning to their homelands after being forced to flee, with nothing to protect them from the bitter winter weather.
Elsewhere – in countries like Jordan, Lebanon and Moldova – where people are still spending winter far from home, your support could provide someone with the means to repair and weatherproof temporary shelters, or even find a new place to call home.
UNHCR is on the ground – all year, every year, no matter what – providing protection to the most vulnerable people. But by donating today, your support will help families to keep the cold at bay, and survive even the most harrowing conditions. Please give what you can.
Make a donation today, and you can help people returning to bombed out and damaged homes. Your donation could help to replace windows and doors, repair leaking roofs and add insulation to keep out the cold, as well as enabling people to begin rebuilding their lives again.
Help us go further, faster. Donate today.
How would you like to donate?
Please consider making a regular donation to UNHCR. Year-round donations help us to reach more vulnerable people and to plan for the most difficult months of the year.
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.
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].
Donations made directly to UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, may not be tax-deductible depending on the country you are in.
