“It all starts with one seed, with one will.” Welcome to the Aboutengue refugee settlement in Chad. Here, Sudanese refugee women have joined hands to form a thriving business, producing handcrafted hats, bags, perfumes and traditional incense. This initiative not only provides essential income but also strengthens community bonds amidst displacement and economic hardship. With more than 760,000 Sudanese refugees fleeing to Chad in the last two years, the resilience of these women is remarkable. Their hope is to expand the project throughout the camp, empowering more refugee women. UNHCR calls for urgent support from the global community to ensure initiatives like these can thrive and continue providing safety, dignity, and hope. Visit the link in our bio to see how you can support these amazing women and their families.

When disasters strike and networks collapse, you see just how key communications preparedness is. In today’s #StaffSpotlight, meet Sami Alio, Global Security Communications Coordinator at UNHCR, and discover how our resilient communication systems ensure life-saving coordination when it matters most. #HumanitariansAtWork
Global Security Communications Coordinator at UNHCR | Expert in Secure IT & Telecom Solutions for Humanitarian Operations
When disaster strikes, communication is survival. The recent earthquake in Myanmar is a painful reminder of how quickly lives can change and how vital it is to stay connected when every second counts. In the chaos of emergencies, traditional networks often go down. But security communications systems like VHF/UHF radios and satellite phones keep working if maintained well. They become lifelines. These tools don’t just help humanitarians coordinate response; they help save lives. Without reliable communication: - First responders can’t reach those in need. - Aid can’t be directed where it’s needed most. - Families remain in fear, not knowing if loved ones are safe. That’s why at UNHCR, we emphasize preparedness. We deploy and maintain robust security communication systems—tools that continue to work in the hardest conditions. Radios and satellite phones are not “backup.” They are essentials. Takeaway: Emergencies demand more than compassion—they demand readiness. Security communication saves lives when infrastructure fails. 📷 Image credit: UNHCR, the UN Refugee Agency #EmergencyResponse #SCS #SavingLives

Mutabesha was a trained agronomist and farmer in eastern DRC. When conflict reached his home, he fled with his eight children - taking only clothes. “We locked up our homes full of things. I left my cassava, maize, oranges, everything.” Now in Burundi, he hopes for peace, the chance to farm again and education for his children.

From fleeing conflict as a child to championing refugee inclusion through sport, Gerald Mballe Mballe’s journey is nothing short of inspiring. Now the Unified with Refugees programme coordinator at #SpecialOlympics and a member of the Olympic Refuge Foundation, Gerald uses his voice and experience to show how sport can be a powerful tool for solidarity, resilience and belonging. Having found community and purpose as a resettled refugee in Italy, Gerald now works to ensure others can do the same regardless of their background or ability. "My mission is to leverage the universal language of sports as a catalyst for social change and refugee empowerment,” says Gerald. "Whether it’s through organized leagues, recreational activities or skill-building workshops, I firmly believe in the potential of sports to bridge divides and unlock opportunities for refugees to thrive." 🤝 This mission is amplified through the partnership between UNHCR and Special Olympics, working together to create inclusive spaces where all refugees can belong.
