USA for UNHCR

Established by concerned American citizens, USA for UNHCR is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization, headquartered in Washington, D.C. USA for UNHCR supports the humanitarian work of the UN Refugee Agency. When people are forced to flee their homes due to violence, persecution, or warfare, the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) is there to provide lifesaving shelter, protection, safe water, and medical care. USA for UNHCR supports UNHCR's lifesaving operations around the world to protect refugees, internally displaced people, and former refugees who are returning home. In more than five decades, the agency has helped an estimated 50 million people restart their lives. The organization also provides public outreach through special events, quarterly publications, and daily updates on our website, www.UNrefugees.org. Mission: USA for UNHCR protects refugees and empowers them with hope and opportunity.
