Australia for UNHCR

Your Will can be their refuge 

Imagine being forced to flee your home to keep you and your family safe. For 79.5 million people around the world – a staggering 1 per cent of the human population – it is a terrifying reality.

Since the end of World War II, UNHCR has protected millions of displaced people around the world. Refugees can spend months, years, even decades waiting to return home in safety or be resettled in another country. During this time, they depend on the support of UNHCR to provide them with the bare essentials, shelter, food and protection, for their survival.

By remembering Australia for UNHCR in your Will, you are helping ensure that people displaced by conflict and natural disaster receive vital support in their time of need. Beyond your lifetime, you will be providing protection, food, water, shelter, education and healthcare to some of the world’s most vulnerable people.

Your gift will help refugees today, tomorrow, and into the future.

Today, your gift will ensure that refugees receive life-saving support and emergency relief during times of crises and displacement.

Tomorrow, your gift will allow UNHCR to safeguard the fundamental human rights of refugees, and support their basic needs in both emergency and protracted settings.

Into the future, your gift will improve the lives of all refugees and displaced people in protracted settings. UNHCR is committed to providing education and livelihoods programs so that refugees have the opportunity to develop the skills they need to achieve self-reliance and earn a living.
