Mission Statement
Australia for UNHCR is the UN Refugee Agency’s national partner in Australia, raising funds and awareness to help UNHCR deliver humanitarian relief to displaced families across the globe. Australia for UNHCR unites caring Australians – individuals, community groups and businesses – to support refugees and people displaced from their homes, families and countries by conflict and persecution. We advocate and fundraise for refugee protection, emergency aid and long-term support and solutions, helping UNHCR reach millions of displaced people each year.
About This Cause
Australia for UNHCR is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to providing life-changing humanitarian support to refugees and other displaced and stateless people who are supported by the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR or the UN Refugee Agency). We achieve this by raising funds for UNHCR's international humanitarian operations. UNHCR is almost entirely funded by direct, voluntary contributions - mostly from donor countries but also increasingly from individual citizens around the world, the private sector, and foundations and trusts. Our fundraising support helps UNHCR respond to humanitarian emergencies when they occur, providing vital practical emergency support such as shelter, medicine, blankets, jerry cans and cooking sets. It also enables them to keep providing support long after the media spotlight has faded, funding long term project that would not exist without our Australian donor support. We also support programs and projects for health, education, shelter, clean water and sanitation, and women and children.
