The UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) is an international organization that works to protect and assist refugees worldwide. Established in 1950, UNHCR is mandated to provide shelter, food, healthcare, and education to refugees who are forced to flee their homes due to conflict, persecution, or violence. With its headquarters in Geneva, Switzerland, UNHCR operates in more than 130 countries, collaborating with governments, NGOs, and other partners to ensure the rights and well-being of refugees. Through its efforts, UNHCR strives to find durable solutions for refugees, including voluntary repatriation, local integration, or resettlement to a third country.
