The Global Shelter Coalition for Nobody Left Outside
An invitation to private sector leaders to join forces with UNHCR in managing the refugee crisis, the greatest humanitarian challenge of the modern era.
The Global Shelter Coalition brings together leading brands and individual philanthropists in order to provide and improve shelter solutions for refugees.
Members of the coalition work collectively towards this common goal and can invest in different areas of UNHCR’s shelter work.
The challenges we are facing have never been more complex or the stakes higher. By joining together at this unprecedented time, Global Shelter Coalition members will achieve a much greater impact than their individual investments would allow.
