Global Charity


UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency, is a global organization dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for refugees, forcibly displaced communities and stateless people.

UNHCR works to ensure that everybody has the right to seek asylum and find safe refuge, having fled violence, persecution, war or disaster at home.

Since 1950, UNHCR has faced multiple crises on multiple continents, and provided vital assistance to refugees, asylum-seekers, internally displaced and stateless people, many of whom have nobody left to turn to.

UNHCR helps to save lives and build better futures for millions forced from home.

Global Charity

In many societies in Africa, it is believed that education is a venture that primarily should be sought by men. It is believed that the value of a woman lies in her capacity to cater for the chores in the household and no more than that.

African Girls Hope Foundation seeks to eradicate this ideology by empowering the African Girl and equipping her with the tools to create for herself a bright future . . .
