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.
For families forced to flee their homes, displacement means losing stability, adjusting to unfamiliar surroundings & facing challenges that extend far beyond the moment they leave.
