The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)

The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) is a global organization dedicated to protecting and supporting refugees, forcibly displaced people, and stateless individuals. Its mission is to ensure their safety, rights, and access to essential services like shelter, food, and education. UNHCR works with governments and partners to provide emergency aid, facilitate legal protections, and find durable solutions such as resettlement or voluntary return. Founded in 1950, it operates worldwide, responding to crises caused by conflict, persecution, and disaster—helping millions rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.
