How you can help?
Every day millions of refugees are in desperate need of protection and assistance. For people who have fled from many refugee crises around the world, the UN refugee agency is there. With your support, we can provide the aid vital to meet the urgent needs of those fleeing persecution and violence. Your support will make a difference and help ensure that we can continue to be there – today and tomorrow – for refugees who have lost everything.
It doesn't take much. There are numerous ways you can get involved to help raise funds for and awareness of refugee issues and the work of the UN Refugee Agency. Make a donation today that directly translates into more refugee children attending school, new shelters for refugees and vital protection assistance. Help us raise awareness about the plight of refugees.

Angelina Jolie
In early 2001, Angelina Jolie approached the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) asking how she could help refugees.
