Quality education means having quality teachers. For refugee learners, one great teacher can ensure a path to a brighter future. Three great teachers is a gamechanger. And no one knows this better than Leila, Suleiman and Weli. #WorldTeachersDay

Faced with sharply declining resources, we have undertaken significant reforms and difficult prioritization measures to protect its most critical work. But the scale and persistence of the funding shortfall mean that even our highest-priority protection and solutions work is now being affected.

UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency @unhcr.org · 29/09/2026

Available funding fell from $5.2 billion to $3.9 billion between 2024 and 2025, and by the end of July 2026, UNHCR had received only 32% of the $8.5 billion funding needed this year, even as the number of people UNHCR is mandated to protect remained at historically high levels.
