Protect Families This Winter

 Protect Families This Winter

For families forced to flee, winter puts lives at risk, especially when there’s no shelter to keep the cold out. 

Millions of people from Afghanistan, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria and Ukraine are facing another difficult winter away from home, living in temporary accommodation or war-damaged buildings.

As temperatures fall, your donation can help families stay safe and warm.

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, provides vital winter assistance, including:

  • 🏠 Safer, warmer shelter through repairs and insulation
  • 🧣 Blankets and winter clothing to protect families from the cold
  • 🔥 Heaters and cash assistance for heating fuel, food and medicine
  • 🔦 Solar lamps for dark winter nights

But we can’t do this work without you. Your support can bring warmth, protection and hope to families who have already been forced to leave so much behind.

 
Please donate today and help us reach families before the cold does. ❤️

How is winter impacting families in different countries?

The ongoing war in Ukraine has split up families, and uprooted people from their homes, while many older people have remained, living alone, near to the front lines. 

In the Middle East, some Syrians have returned to homes gutted by shelling and looting, while others remain in countries like Lebanon and Jordan, with nothing to return to. 

While in Afghanistan, many families who sought refuge in Pakistan and Iran have been forced to return to a country ravaged by years of conflict, economic instability and poverty. Many are returning with no homes, no money and no belongings – at the worst time of year.
