UNHCR's Star Appeal will benefit the world's forgotten refugee children and their families who find themselves far from home this festive season. The purchase of one or more of our five gifts directs funds towards specific projects. For example, by spending just HK$300 you can provide textbooks, exercise books and pencils for 5 students for a year. By purchasing warm blankets or an all season tent you'll be contributing to our emergency relief projects. By purchasing seeds and tools, you'll be directing funds towards agriculture and self sufficiency projects. And by purchasing a community well you will be contributing to our water projects for clean, safe drinking water.
