More than 40 million people are displaced around the world and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees is especially concerned about the 10 million who are refugees.
“On this, World Refugee Day, I ask you to help
us help refugees find a place to call home.”
-High Commissioner António Guterres
- WRD 2010 Message:
UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador Angelina Jolie says don’t forget refugees.
The UNHCR helps to find new homes and new futures for refugees to resettle and sometimes repatriate when it is possible for them to return to their own countries. The world today with increasing numbers of conflict areas makes it a challenging place to find locations for new homes and new beginnings for so many who need assistance.
World Refugee Day spreads awareness and advocates for the millions of individual human beings who make up the population of refugees around the world. Contribute what you can to help. Find out more by checking the links below.
