United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, leads international action to protect people forced to flee their homes because of conflict and persecution.

We deliver life-saving assistance like shelter, food and water, help safeguard fundamental human rights, and develop solutions that ensure people have a safe place to call home where they can build a better future.


We also work to ensure that stateless people are granted a nationality.


We work in over 130 countries, using our expertise to protect and care for millions of people.
