UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency works to ensure that everybody has the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge, having fled violence, persecution or war at home.
Since 1950, we have faced multiple crises on multiple continents, and provided vital protection and assistance to refugees, asylum-seekers, internally displaced and stateless people, many of whom have nobody left to turn to.
We help to save lives and build better futures for millions forced from home.
UNHCR works to safeguard the rights, safety and dignity of refugees, asylum-seekers and other forcibly displaced people in Rwanda.
We support voluntary return, local integration, resettlement and complementary pathways so displaced people can rebuild their lives.
UNHCR helps meet refugees' essential needs through cash assistance, shelter, food, water, sanitation and healthcare support.
We promote livelihoods, financial inclusion and skills development so refugees can become self-reliant and contribute to their communities.
