United Nations Refugee Agency

The United Nations Refugee Agency, known as UNHCR, is an organization dedicated to protecting the rights and well-being of refugees and displaced people worldwide. Established in 1950, it provides essential services such as shelter, food, education, and legal assistance to those forced to flee their homes due to war, persecution, or natural disasters. UNHCR works with governments and other organizations to ensure refugees can safely return home, integrate into host communities, or resettle in third countries. Its mission is to safeguard the dignity and rights of vulnerable individuals while advocating for long-term solutions to displacement crises.
