UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR)

The UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is an agency of the United Nations dedicated to protecting and supporting refugees and displaced people worldwide. Its primary mission is to ensure that everyone has the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in other countries. The UNHCR works to provide essential assistance, such as shelter, food, and education, and advocates for the rights of refugees to help them rebuild their lives. Established in 1950, the organization responds to crises and collaborates with governments, NGOs, and communities to improve the situation for millions of people fleeing conflict and persecution.
