UNHCR helps to save lives and build better futures for the millions of people forced to flee their homes.
Since 1950, we have faced multiple crises on multiple continents, and provided vital protection and assistance to refugees, asylum-seekers, internally displaced and stateless people, many of whom have nobody left to turn to.
We help to save lives and build better futures for millions forced from home.
Behind every home & every livelihood is a story of years spent building a future. When conflict steals them away, the loss extends far beyond bricks & mortar.
