Dear John,

As we step into 2026, we are filled with renewed energy and sincere gratitude for being on this journey with you. That’s why we would like to share our 2026 Global Appeal, which looks ahead to how we plan to protect, assist, and empower refugees and displaced people around the world.

This year’s Global Appeal highlights the impact of our supporters in 2025 and helps us map out what’s needed in the year ahead: from life-saving protection and essential services to long-term solutions that help refugee and displaced people rebuild their lives with dignity and hope.

In one of his final messages as High Commissioner for Refugees, Filippo Grandi reflected on the reality faced by millions of displaced people:

Your support for our 2026 Global Appeal plays a vital role in making this work possible. You can help UNHCR strengthen preparedness, address urgent needs, and invest in solutions that protect and empower people forced to flee, not just today, but in the years ahead.  

We are truly inspired by the generosity and commitment of supporters like you. Your continued support makes it possible to transform this plan into meaningful, lasting impact, helping people forced to flee move toward safety, stability, and hope for the future.

Thank you for starting the year with us and for being part of what makes this work possible.

Warm regards, 

Monia Hassan
