Donate to Help Refugees
The biggest facilitator of grassroots humanitarian aid in Europe, Help Refugees fill gaps and acts where other NGOs and governments don't. Funded by a group of "normal" people, the organisation provides vital aid to those fleeing war, persecution and poverty.
Work ranges from life-saving emergency treatment to sustainable initiatives such as education and housing. 94% of donations are put directly towards supporting refugees across Europe and the Middle East, and the charity now funds more than 80 projects worldwide. Among other initiatives, their work in Syria - in partnership with the White Helmets - has funded 10 ambulances to help the Syrian Civil Defence in their response, as well providing resources for psychological therapy and rehabilitation treatment needed to enable injured first responders to return to work.
