Welcome to a very special episode featuring UNHCR who will be sharing with us updates on Ukraine.
We are joined with the Partnerships Manager and Partnerships Associate, Ann Moey and Malik from UNHCR.
There has been an ongoing crises at the heart of Europe. This crises has tilts at many aspects of democracy and independence for Ukraine.
Many Ukrainians have fled their homes and took refuge in neighbouring cities or countries. However, for those left behind they are living in a state of uncertainty and fear for what is to come.
The UNHCR is a refugee agency, and one of the world's largest organization dedicated to saving lives, protecting rights and building a better future for refugees internally displaced persons and stateless people. It is one of the few UN agencies, which depends almost entirely on voluntary contributions to fund their operations. Only 1% of their annual budget is covered by a subsidy from the UN regular budget. Most of the programs are funded by government, but partnerships with cooperation, foundations, and private individuals also constitute important sources of funding.
Every contribution goes a long way during this critical period, and is greatly appreciated by all of us at UNHCR.
