Across the world, millions of refugees need support as they struggle under some of the most difficult of circumstances imaginable. The UNHCR is mandated to lead and co-ordinate international action to protect refugees and resolve refugee problems worldwide.
Its primary purpose is to safeguard the rights and well-being of refugees. It strives to ensure that everyone can exercise the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge in another State, with the option to return home voluntarily, integrate locally or to resettle in a third country. It also has a mandate to help stateless people.
All money raised at this event will be donated to the UNHCR
