Help families forced to flee

Right now, millions of families are facing an urgent and heartbreaking situation as they are forced to flee their homes, leaving behind everything they know and love.

They are running from conflict, persecution, and disaster, seeking safety and a chance for a better life. 

You might not have heard of them in the news, but away from the headlines, in countries like Sudan, Myanmar, Ethiopia, South Sudan, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Venezuela or Lebanon, millions of forcibly displaced people are being pushed to the brink. 

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, works in more than 135 countries around the world providing lifesaving assistance to people forced to flee their homes wherever and whoever they are. 

When an emergency strikes, we can’t leave families waiting. Our emergency teams are prepared to be deployed within 72 hours. 

Your help matters: Every contribution can make a significant impact.

By donating today, you're extending a lifeline to those who are desperately seeking refuge.

Your generosity helps UNHCR provide immediate and sustained relief to refugees caught up in crises.  

Please give now. Let's show the world that when humanity stands together, we can create a brighter future even in the midst of adversity.
