Dear John,

This Saturday is World Refugee Day, a crucial reminder for all of us to do our part in creating a more inclusive and caring world, where no one is left behind and everyone receives the help they need. Today, 1% of all of humanity is displaced. That is 79.5 million people fleeing conflict, violence and persecution worldwide.

Even in times of pandemic and uncertainty, refugees and other extremely vulnerable people keep the dream of a safer future alive.

Every year, 20 June celebrates the strength, courage and resilience of refugees and brings global attention to the rights and needs of refugees. On this day, we’re also inspired and moved to action by their dreams – especially in times of pandemic and uncertainty.

Thank you for being part of UNHCR’s life-changing work so far! With your support, we are helping refugees survive and thrive.
