Best friends Nur, Subeda and Anarkoli are Rohingya refugees living in Kutupalong refugee camp. Life in the camp is not easy, but at least they have each other.

84,000,000

It’s a staggeringly huge number, almost unreal yet utterly heartbreaking. It’s the shocking number of children, women and men who were forced to flee from their homes by the end of 2020.

1 in 97

Forced displacement is now affecting more than one percent of humanity – 1 in every 97 people – and with fewer and fewer of those who flee being able to return home.

$10

Is enough to provide safe drinking water to hydrate and keep 10 refugees alive for a day during an emergency situation.

$60

Is enough to provide a desk to three refugee children in Africa, helping to restore their right to education.

$165

Is enough to provide cash assistance to a refugee family, helping them find shelter during winter months and beyond.

Emergency Relief Efforts

During refugee crises, UNHCR rushes in humanitarian aid and its expert staff, leading efforts to save lives and relieve suffering.

Cash Assistance

For vulnerable refugee families living outside of camps, cash assistance meets their needs in an effective, sustainable and dignified way.

Education

More than half of the world’s refugees are under the age of 18. Without access to education, an entire generation's future is at risk.

Innovation

As the world becomes increasingly complex new systems, technologies and innovations can help challenge the status quo.

Building Livelihoods

Opportunities to become self-sufficient, to learn new skills and pursue economic opportunities are vital for refugees to rebuild their lives.

Welcoming Resettled Refugees

USA for UNHCR is leading a movement to build awareness by supporting resettled refugees in the U.S. and promoting acceptance and understanding.
