Secure Donation
UNHCR | Emergency Afghanistan
Over 2 million Afghans have returned from Iran and Pakistan in 2025, many under duress — arriving to a bitter winter and an uncertain future. ❄️🙏
After decades of conflict and a recent devastating earthquake, families are struggling to survive in freezing conditions, with no home, no livelihood, and temperatures dropping to –25°C.
Your support can help:
provide emergency shelter, blankets, and warm clothing
deliver cash assistance for essentials like food and medicine
support families to rebuild their homes and restore hope
Regular gifts help us to plan ahead and provide long-term support to displaced families wherever and whenever it's needed most.
By making a regular donation to Switzerland for UNHCR, you will provide refugees with ongoing relief and protection and help them regain hope for a better future.

If you are resident in Switzerland, your donation is tax deductible. Direct federal tax: 20% of net income, provided that the amount of the donation is at least 100 francs. Municipal taxes: depending on the canton, up to 20% of net income for individuals and 20% for companies. For further information, please contact the tax authorities in your canton.
However, in the very rare case that this emergency response becomes fully funded, your support will be used to provide vital assistance to people forced to flee around the world.
We will happily explore with you the ways in which you can maximize your impact on the fate of people forced to flee in the way that fits you best. Please email us at [email protected] or call +41 22 552 78 08.
