Campaigns
Global Ramadan Campaign
In 2024, UNHCR’s global Ramadan campaign raised essential funds to support 208,332 refugee and internally displaced persons from Syria, Afghanistan, Yemen, and Myanmar, thanks to the generosity of individuals, corporations, and foundations. Furthermore, ‘Matching Gifts’ initiative doubled contributions, raising $107,036 during the Global Ramadan Campaign in March 2024 and $96,905 in Zakat contributions in April 2024, showcasing the power of collective action.
Dhul Hijjah & Adha Campaign
Through UNHCR’s annual Dhul Hijjah & Adha Campaign, the Zakat and Sadaqah donations received were able to help 2,713 displaced families in Sudan and Yemen, two of the most critical humanitarian crises today. Families who lost everything were able to receive essential aid and enjoy a warm and nourishing Eid meal. After being forced to flee their homes, their children got to experience the joy of Eid once more.
Sadaqah Jariah Campaign
The influx of Sudanese refugees (more than 1 million) and Chadian returnees from Sudan has had a major impact on water, hygiene and sanitation facilities in host and relocation areas. Added to this is a structural context of extremely poor access to water and sanitation in the eastern regions of Chad. Major challenges include insufficient funding, logistical constraints in refugee-hosting areas, political constraints and social pressures linked to migratory flows. Through UNHCR’s Sadaqah Jariah campaign, donors can contribute to the construction and maintenance of boreholes, helping UNHCR to enhance Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) infrastructure to support nearly 10,000 beneficiaries, ensuring access to water, hygiene, and sanitation, and promoting sustainable community empowerment.
