What is USA for UNHCR?

USA for UNHCR helps and protects refugees and people displaced by violence, conflict and persecution. Supporting UNHCR – the UN Refugee Agency – and its partners, we provide lifesaving essentials including shelter, water, food, safety and protection. Around the world, we help refugees survive, recover and build a better future. 

What does UNHCR do?

In emergencies, UNHCR provides shelter, food, water and medical care.

In established refugee camps and communities, UNHCR works to improve refugees’ quality of life and future opportunities, providing infrastructure, schools and income generating projects.

When refugees are able to return home, UNHCR gives them assistance with transport, documentation and essential items to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Once they are home, UNHCR provides ongoing support and education to help refugees rebuild their communities and 
their livelihoods.

Where does UNHCR get its funding?

99% of UNHCR's budget comes from voluntary contributions from governments, corporations, and individual donors. UNHCR relies on donations to ensure it can respond whenever and wherever a crisis strikes.

As a donor, you can feel confident that you are helping save lives around the world – wherever refugees are in need of help.
