Album DescriptionThe UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) protects over 19 million people worldwide who have been forced to flee their homes due to persecution or war. Working in far off places such as Sudan, Afghanistan, and Colombia, UNHCR provides refugees with protection, water, shelter, medical care and other types of emergency assistance. In addition, the agency helps to ensure that all refugees can exercise the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another country, with the option to return home voluntarily, integrate into their country of asylum or to resettle in a third country. The United States Association for UNHCR (USA for UNHCR) raises awareness and support for UNHCR?s Nobel Peace Prize-winning work through fundraising, education, and advocacy. USA for UNHCR?s work improves the lives of refugees in the 116 countries where UNHCR operates. Contributions to USA for UNHCR are tax-deductible.
